ERROR: Book contents must include a home page (e.g. index.md) -- how can I use external page instead?

I created a Quarto book, but I would like to use my own custom index.html page instead. How can I achieve this?

If I don't include an index.qmd in the _quarto.yml file, it gives me the error ERROR: Book contents must include a home page (e.g. index.md). Further, even if I leave it blank, then it shows up on the table of contents (so I'm forced to create a blank h1 heading with {.unnumbered} tag) which creates a completely different page with its own Quarto Book format.

There must be some way to disable this, right?
