Book Synopsis

A heart-stopping small town romance from USA Today bestselling author Catherine Cowles, the first in a brand-new series.

He spent a lifetime trying to escape his dark past...but to save her, he'll wade back into the shadows.

Braedyn Winslow never expected to return to Starlight Grove--the town that took everything from her. Not after her best friend, the one who'd sacrificed so much for her, vanished without a trace. But with a young son to raise and a past that won't stay buried, Brae is back...and determined to uncover the truth.

She just didn't count on the brooding, reclusive mountain man living next door.

Dex Archer is the stuff of local legend--silent, rugged, and surrounded by whispers of his and his brothers' violent father. But Brae sees through the scowl and his parentage to the man beneath: fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind...and just dangerous enough to protect her when someone starts warning her off her search.

The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to stay away from Dex. And as things get more perilous, Brae realizes the only person she can rely on is the one man who swore never to trust again.

Only someone isn't happy that Brae has been digging, and they'll do anything to stop her. But Dex? He'll do anything to save her, even slip back into the dark...
