Haunted by war and betrayal, Caleb Winters seeks solace in the wilderness, his heart locked behind walls no one has dared to breach—until Ysabelle Moore arrives, desperate and unannounced. A widow with a young son, she carries secrets as deep as his own, and though Caleb vows to keep his distance, the pull between them is undeniable.

Ysabelle is warmth and light, awakening memories of summers long past, of a love that once flickered but never truly died. But danger lurks in the shadows, the ghosts of her late husband’s past creeping closer, threatening everything Caleb swore to protect.

As passion ignites and danger looms, they must fight for their fragile happiness. But when the past comes knocking, will their love be strong enough to survive the storm?
But when danger finally came for me, it wasn’t my family or friends who showed up—it was Alex. Gun drawn. Eyes locked on mine like I was the only mission that mattered.

Now we’re tangled in something neither of us can escape. Every secret he keeps drags us deeper, every glance ignites what we both swore we’d never want. And just when I start to believe I’m safe with him, the truth surfaces.

Alex isn’t who I thought he was.

The man I’m trusting with my life—my heart—might be hiding the biggest secret of all.

He might be the reason I’m being hunted.

And if he is… loving him could be the most dangerous choice I’ve ever made.
