Sadie didn’t come to Briar Ridge to start over.She came to disappear.Tucked deep in the mountains, the small town is quiet—exactly what she needs. A job at High Ridge Tree Co. gives her routine, and for the first time in a long time, things feel… almost normal.Until she meets Rhett.As the foreman, Rhett runs everything with a steady hand and a sharp eye. He notices things other people don’t—and Sadie quickly realizes she can’t hide as easily as she thought. Still, he doesn’t push. He doesn’t ask. And somehow, that makes her trust him more than she should.But the past doesn’t stay buried.When strange signs start appearing and messages turn darker, Sadie knows the truth she’s been avoiding—Derek is closer than he should be. And if he’s found her once, he won’t stop until he finds her again.As danger closes in, Sadie is forced to make an impossible choice: keep running… or finally stand and fight.Because in a place this quiet, secrets don’t stay hidden for long.And this time, she might not get away.
