A body washes ashore on a frozen Maine coastline at dawn. By the time the police arrive, Elena Hart is already standing beside it. She tells them it was coincidence. A storm. A stranger. One reckless night with a man named Rowan Hale. But Elena came to Maine for one reason only: to uncover what happened to her sister, Mara, who vanished without a trace years ago. And buried deep inside the case file was another name—Rowan’s. He was supposed to be a lead. A way to finally expose the secrets this town has protected for years. Instead, he becomes the one thing she never prepared for. Because Rowan Hale is dangerous in the worst way: quiet, observant, impossible to read. He knows when Elena is lying. Knows there’s more to her story than she admits. And the deeper they pull at the truth, the more it becomes clear that neither of them met by accident. Now the past is resurfacing in pieces—through broken memories, hidden files, and lies told so many times they almost sound true. Someone is dead. Someone vanished years ago. And someone has been manipulating the story from the very beginning. But the most terrifying part of the truth isn’t what happened that night— It’s what Elena is willing to do to uncover the rest.
