Six years after Elijah vanished without a word, Kiera is scraping by and trying not to think about him-until she sees him standing in the cold town square, looking for her like he never left. Their reunion is a collision of old warmth and sharp hurt, filled with unanswered questions Elijah still refuses to explain. When he offers to help her and admits he still wants her, Kiera finds out the truth and forces him to explain the truth he's been avoiding. One confession, one challenge, and one unexpected invitation later-their unfinished past shifts into something new, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.
