Cover of The Wrong Lease by June Whitlock.

New Release

The Wrong Lease

One apartment. Two valid leases. One very complicated second chance.

Nora Bennett arrives at her new apartment expecting a fresh start — not a man already living in it. Eli Barrett holds a lease of his own, and neither of them is leaving.


In Bellweather, the past rarely disappears completely.

It waits in old photographs, forgotten letters, theaters, benches, records, and the memories of people who were there. June Whitlock’s Bellweather stories follow ordinary people as they uncover the lives behind those objects — quiet mysteries about community, memory, family, second chances, and the distance between what a town remembers and what really happened.

The Starlight marquee

The Bellweather Stories

Seven connected small-town stories. Old photographs, forgotten letters, family secrets, and the people who refuse to let a life become only a rumor. Step into Bellweather.
