Hiding under a new identity in the small town of Sparrow Falls, Oregon, Thea has rebuilt a quiet life off the grid, working at the local bakery and trusting no one with her past. When contractor Shepard Colson starts turning up to fix her crumbling cabin, his easy charm and watchful amber eyes slowly chip away at the walls she's built to survive. But a ghost from Thea's old life has unfinished business, and as her carefully hidden secrets begin to surface, Shep becomes the one person determined to keep her safe, even as the danger closes in. A small-town romantic suspense about healing, trust and learning to be found.
