Gretchen by Mary Jane Holmes audiobook.

Genre: romance

When wealthy, fastidious Arthur Tracy returns to Tracy Park after years abroad, his homecoming should restore order to the grand estate and the quiet town of Shannondale. Instead, Arthur arrives shaken and mentally unsteady, speaking obsessively of a woman named Gretchen and insisting she was with him on the journey, though no one can find her. His brother Frank, who has grown comfortable managing Arthur's fortune and hosting glittering society gatherings with his ambitious wife Dolly, is gripped by fear that Arthur's return will expose long-buried compromises. Then a brutal storm sweeps in, and a grim discovery at the eerie Tramp House leaves an abandoned child, nicknamed Jerry, at the center of the town's whispers. Taken in by the poor but proud Harold and his grandmother, Jerry becomes a living question mark that refuses to fade, especially as Arthur feels a strange, unsettling pull toward her. As years pass, old loyalties strain, missing jewels spark suspicion, and young hearts tangle with class, pride, and desire. Between drawing-room display and hard-won survival, Gretchen unfolds as a tale of mystery, conscience, and the dangerous cost of keeping secrets.
