The fourth book in the heart-stopping small-town romance series from USA Today bestselling author. For fans of Elsie Silver's found family trope and those who love the emotional depth of Colleen Hoover's books.

A swoony small-town romance that will set your heart racing.

I've been running from the past for most of my life, hiding in a small town and hoping no one discovers who I truly am. Which was working just fine until my brother moved his best friend onto our property.

Now, I'm stuck trying to avoid the brooding billionaire's probing questions and piercing stares. And it doesn't help that I almost killed him the first time we met. Oops.

But I can't ignore him forever. And when all my lies come crashing down, it's Linc who steps in to shield me.

Only, it's not just my safety at risk—it's my heart. Because when Linc touches me, I lose all sense.

We might be building a life together. But Linc and I both have secrets and it's only a matter of time until the forces from our pasts come back to tear everything apart. Forever.
