A refuge unsettled by a new arrival

A secluded island offers a measure of safety to a woman who has spent years hiding from the past. That fragile refuge shifts when a man carrying his own pain appears at her door, drawing the two closer even as the search for someone important brings unexpected risks. The description frames the romance around concealment, shared vulnerability, and the possibility that the past will catch up with them. Its contemporary-romance premise pairs an isolated setting with the tension of two people confronting what they have tried to leave behind.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in contemporary romance built around guarded characters and growing closeness.
  • Readers who enjoy isolated settings and stories involving characters fleeing troubled pasts.

Book overview

There were shadows I was running from.

Ones that haunted and taunted.

Ones that made it so I had no choice but to disappear.

 

I'd spent years hiding from the world.

My little island haven, the only assurance of safety.

 

It all changed the moment he showed up at my door.

The hint of pain in his eyes told me that something haunted him, too.

And I couldn't help but be drawn closer.

 

But finding the person I needed most came with risks I never expected.

And when our ghosts find us again, neither of us may make it out this time.
