He swore he'd bury her where no one would find her—so she dug her own grave first.
Her husband was handsome, charming, wealthy—every woman’s dream.
Until the night he became her nightmare.
Now she’s hiding in the Blue Ridge Mountains, trying to live small enough that the past can’t see her. But Sheriff Burke Scott notices everything she’s trying to hide—the way she flinches at footsteps, scans every exit, and the way his retired K-9, Rosie, reacts to threats no one else can sense.
Then the quiet shatters.
A blacked-out SUV idles on her street.
A private jet lands on the mountain strip—silent, wrong, unmistakably his.
He’s found her.
And he didn’t come to talk.
The only thing standing between her and the man hunting her is Sheriff Burke Scott, a fiercely loyal sheriff who will burn the world down before he lets her go back.
Perfect for fans of Toni Anderson, Melinda Leigh, and small-town romantic suspense with relentless tension, found family vibes, a protective K-9, and a heroine fighting for her life and freedom.
If you love heart-pounding thrillers with a slow-burn romance and a community worth fighting for, you won’t want to put this down.
