About this book
When Tessa arrives in the quiet town of Sutter Lake, she's rebuilt her entire life around keeping secrets—but it's the connection she never saw coming that threatens to unravel everything. Liam, a man running from the wreckage of his own damaged past, finds himself irresistibly drawn to the mysterious woman who seems to understand what it means to hide. As these two guarded souls begin to lower their walls, the very demons they've been fleeing start closing in from the shadows. This is a beautifully tender story about finding healing in unexpected places, even when the cost might be everything.

“Create a playlist called Beautifully Broken Life. Moody indie rock with vulnerable vocals, slow-burn folk, and sultry R&B—for guarded hearts finding solace in each other. Think Bon Iver's isolation, The National's tension, and Hozier's longing. Atmospheric, intimate, with undercurrents of danger lurking beneath the quiet.”
