She needed somewhere to hide… he needed her to stay.
Claire came to Greyhollow to disappear. A small town in the middle of nowhere seemed like the perfect place to start over—not to fall in love. But when Dakota walks into the diner where she works, she finds herself drawn to him despite every plan she's made to keep her distance.
Dakota has been a shell of a man since losing his fiancée, and moving on was never part of the plan. But when he walks into the Silver Spoon like any other day, something fierce and primal and irrefutable stops him cold—the Calling. Fate has decided Claire is his, and there's no arguing with human nature.
He tries and fails to keep his distance. Pulled toward her every minute of every day, Dakota soon realizes that whatever Claire is running from may have followed her to Greyhollow, and his need to keep her safe overrides everything else, including his grief.
She came to hide. He found her anyway. The question is whether she'll open up and let him in before it's too late.
