Kate will do anything to protect her children. Running from the life she once knew is her only choice.
Fleeing New York with her two young children, she seeks refuge on a remote Colorado ranch, hoping the wide-open landscape will finally keep them safe. But the past she escaped is closer than she realises.
An unexpected encounter with a man she once trusted stirs long-buried feelings and raises questions she is not sure she is ready to answer. As Kate begins to rebuild her life in unfamiliar surroundings, she discovers that small-town secrets, old betrayals and a growing threat could put everything she has fought for at risk.
To protect her children and reclaim her future, Kate must decide whether she can trust her instincts, confront the danger she thought she had escaped, and open her heart to a slow-burn romance that could change everything.
An atmospheric romantic suspense story of resilience, healing, secrets and the courage it takes to begin again.
