Dillon's life is a mess. Two years ago, her sister Isla vanished without a trace, and the authorities closed the case after only six months, assuming Isla left willingly. Dillon knows better. She knows something happened to her sister, but everyone thinks she's just chasing ghosts. Now, with a bruised face and a body broken by her search for answers, Dillon has one thing on her mind: find Isla.
When Dillon ends up in the trailer of Austin, a mysterious and rugged cowboy with a past of his own, she doesn't expect him to be her savior. Austin has a quiet, intimidating strength that both unsettles and comforts her. He's kind in the way only someone who's seen darkness can be, and while he's obviously hiding something, Dillon doesn't trust him any more than she trusts Luke-the man she knows holds the key to Isla's disappearance.
Despite the sparks of attraction between them, Dillon refuses to let Austin's calm demeanor distract her. She needs answers, and she won't stop until she finds out what happened to Isla-even if it means confronting the dangerous Luke.
But Austin has his reasons for staying out of it. He knows the risks, knows how far Luke will go to protect his secrets, and knows that pushing the past could shatter everything-especially Dillon.
Will Dillon find the truth, or will her pursuit of justice destroy her in the process?
A slow-burning, suspenseful story about obsession, loyalty, and the fight to heal from deep scars-both physical and emotional.
Austin's plans for the future came tumbling down around him, leaving him depressed and alone.
Oakley's life has been anything but flawless, but she has learned to deal with the cards she was dealt.
But their lives get turned upside down when they meet each other in the most unconventional way, both agreeing to want to know more.
But she's hiding a secret, a secret that's ruined everything for her in the past and he says nothing she tells him could scare him away.
But she just laughs because that's what they've all said until they've tried it and failed.
But he says...anyone whose given up on you must not have liked you like I do. That's a win for me and a loss for them because I'd do anything to be with you.
And she says...I hope that's true.
