She came to the province to rest. She didn’t expect to meet the man everyone warned her about. When Celeste Navarro, a burned out city girl, is forced to spend a month in her mother’s quiet hometown, she expects boredom, mosquitoes, and slow days. Instead, she crosses paths with Elias, a 35 year old aloof farmer who lives alone at the edge of the fields — a man the entire town avoids. Cold. Unapproachable. Dangerous. That’s what they call him. But Celeste sees something else: a man who watches her like he’s been waiting for her… and a man who hides a past dark enough to ruin them both. Because Elias isn’t who he pretends to be. He’s not just a farmer. He’s the missing heir of a powerful family — a man running from a scandal, a death, and enemies who still want him found. And now that Celeste has stepped into his quiet life, she becomes the one thing he can’t afford to lose… and the one weakness his enemies can use. A month in the province was supposed to heal her. Instead, it might destroy her.
