Investigative journalist Payton Donovan promised herself she’d never return to Garnet Falls, Montana. Not after her boyfriend chose her best friend over her. Not after the internship that could have launched her career vanished overnight.

But when that same former best friend disappears, Payton is pulled back into the town she’d spent ten years pretending to forget.

The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that someone has been destroying her life piece by piece—and now they intend to finish the job.

Forced to work alongside Jack Rivers, the man who shattered her heart, Payton is determined not to let the past break her again… even if trusting Jack means risking everything she’s fought to rebuild.

A clean romantic suspense filled with deadly deception, shattered trust, and second chances.
