Get ready for your next reading obsession, the spicy small-town romance filled with mystery and suspense from the bestselling author, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Colleen Hoover. I came here seeking sanctuary, I never meant to fall for the broody single dad next door. I've spent my life hiding in plain sight, burying my past beneath layers of carefully constructed lies. Moving to Sparrow Falls was supposed to be a fresh start. A place to lay low. But when I end up living next door to the single dad who just happens to be one of my brother's best friends, everything changes. Trace Colson sees too much, asks too many questions, and his protectiveness is as infuriating as it is alluring. And when danger comes calling, it's Trace who stands between me and the darkness. But being close to him is its own kind of risk. Because with every heated glance and every stolen touch, Trace tempts me to open my heart, to dream of a life I'd long since given up on. The only problem? Trace has his own demons, and when they collide with mine, the fallout could destroy us both.
