Midnight on Willow Lane: Love, Lies, and the Midnight Bell
Ongoing · Majidat Natasha Taofik
The tide rises at midnight. And so does the truth.
In the isolated coastal town of Willow Lane, the sea has rules and so do its people. Cassia Marlowe knows them by heart. As the lighthouse keeper’s daughter, she’s learned that survival depends on silence, obedience, and never opening doors that were sealed for a reason. Some memories are safer buried. Some truths demand a price she refuses to pay.
Then Evan Cole arrives on the last train of the year.
A traveling musician carrying grief he won’t name and a past he can’t outrun, Evan was never meant to stay. But Willow Lane has a way of holding on, and Cass becomes the one thing he didn’t plan for, the impossible girl who sees him when he’s trying not to be found.
As their connection deepens, the town begins to shift. Locked passages beneath the lighthouse stir. Half-forgotten legends resurface. And whispers of the Midnight Bell grow louder, a ritual said to bind two souls together… or destroy them completely.
When a violent storm threatens to extinguish the light and drag Willow Lane’s darkest secrets into the open, Cass and Evan are forced to choose between the safety of silence and the danger of truth.
Because in Willow Lane, love doesn’t ask for trust.
It demands everything.
And some secrets were never meant to survive the midnight tide.
