I shattered his heart. Now, he’s the only one who can keep me safe.

 

When I return to Ember Hollow as an investigative journalist, it’s supposed to be temporary. One last story to close the chapter on a haunted past—mine, and the town’s. But coming home means facing the people I left behind…especially Fox Ramsey, the boy I once loved and the man who now wants nothing to do with me.

​

Fox has built walls high enough to keep me out, yet the pain buried behind his anger is clear. I deserve his hate after what I did. But when strange threats to my safety begin, Fox’s protective instincts ignite—whether he wants them to or not.

​

As old wounds surface and danger closes in, it’s obvious I’m being watched by someone who knows more than they should. The deeper we dig into a forgotten Jane Doe case, the more I wonder if coming back to Ember Hollow was a mistake…or fate.

In a town where everyone has secrets, some stories were never meant to be uncovered.
