She came looking for a story, a mystery hidden deep in the mountains. The man she finds isn’t just a rugged loner; he’s strong, brooding, and impossible to ignore. He’s spent years living off-grid, keeping his past buried and his heart guarded.
She should walk away. He should let her. But some attractions can’t be denied.
As the sparks between them turn into something more, secrets threaten to unravel everything. When trust is shattered, love is the only thing that can bring them back together, but only if they’re willing to fight for it.
An emotionally charged small-town romance about love, redemption, and the risks of following your heart.
