After losing her husband and mother within a span of two years, Verity C. Huntington, a #1 international best-selling romance author, trying to figure out life as a single mother has now been tasked to be her best friend's Maid of Honor and the wedding will be held in none other than the small town she swore she would never return to and has stayed away from for the last 13 years- Adelaide, Texas.

On a whim, Verity decides to pack up her kids, flip the home and the barn, sell them- and her memories of Adelaide- for good. But her plans hit a snag when Dean Carson- her first love and now Adelaide's sheriff- reenters her life, determined to have her fall in love with him once more.

But he's not the only thing making her heart race.

The longer she stays in her mother's house, things begin to go bump in the night, shadows crawl, dark secrets resurface, and stranger things are playing tricks. With her heart and her sanity on the line, she must confront the dark truths hidden in Adelaide's shadows. Can she escape unscathed once again, or is something far more sinister lurking in a quiet Texas town?
