JACKSON ANDERSON He's always been the responsible one. The reliable one. The guy who doesn't screw up-until her. Maya is his sister's best friend and the one woman he should never touch. She's wild, unpredictable, and exactly what he never knew he needed. Now he's lying to his own family just to keep her close. MAYA RIVERA She's drowning, and has been for months. Falling into bed with Jackson wasn't smart, but it was the best decision she's ever made. He's steady where she's messy, quiet where she's loud. What started as an arrangement to help her heal turned serious fast, and now she's hiding the one good thing in her life from the person who's always been her safe place. Falling for each other was never part of the plan. But neither was playing defense with their hearts on the line.

I've been broken for so long that I stopped believing I could be whole. No one wants to love a man who can't even stand on his own two feet. I've heard it all before. "It's not you, it's just... this." "We can't do normal things." "You deserve someone who can handle this." Bullshit. What they meant was, I wasn't enough. Then she crashed into my life - reckless, stubborn, impossible, and made it her mission to prove me wrong. I'm drowning, and for some godforsaken reason, she won't stop pulling me back to the surface. But love doesn't fix broken things. And if I let myself believe she'll stay, I might not survive when she realizes I'm too much to handle.

In a town where the past never truly dies, Ellie must uncover the truth before it consumes her. Because in Hollow Ridge, some secrets are meant to stay buried... and some whispers never stop.
