After losing her husband in a devastating accident, Sage has built walls around her heart so high that nothing—and no one—can penetrate them, until a charming and persistent benefactor named Nick bids on a charity auction date with her. Nick is instantly captivated, but Sage isn't interested in letting anyone close again, even as an unexpected foster child enters her life and begins to thaw her defenses. What neither of them anticipates is the dangerous darkness lurking in the shadows, determined to claim Sage as his own. Can Nick prove that taking a chance on love again is worth the risk, or will the threat consuming their world tear them apart before they even have a chance to begin?
Reading soundtrack
Soft indie-pop and acoustic ballads exploring vulnerability, second chances, and guarded hearts slowly opening. Mix tender moments with underlying tension—think Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers, and Gregory Alan Isakov. Bittersweet, hopeful, intimate.
