Zuri is eighteen and finally free. One gap year, one suitcase, and a dream. But independence isn't as simple as she imagined. Back in Arkansas waits Arthur-her childhood constant. Older. Protective. Magnetic in ways she can't ignore. He's been the safe place she always ran to... until she realizes he might be something more. Now Zuri is caught between two lives: chasing the adventures she's always dreamed of, and facing a love she never expected. Freedom, desire, home, and heart-she can't have it all. But she has to choose.

In the heart of Bree, Denella Blossom keeps to her quiet life as a maid at the Prancing Pony-until one autumn night when shadows creep closer than the hearth's glow can hold back. A group of hobbits arrives, small but carrying secrets heavier than any she's ever known, and with them comes Strider, a man cloaked in danger and mystery. Yet it is the haunted, gentle-eyed Frodo Baggins who seizes her attention, with the sharp-eyed Strider, drawing her into a world she never imagined. The Ring he bears will summon darkness to the Pony's very doors, shattering Dee's peaceful existence. Caught between peril and a tender, forbidden spark that warms even the coldest shadow, Dee must choose: cling to the safety of Bree... or step onto a road where every dawn holds both deadly threat-and the faintest glimmer of hope.
