Peace is a delicate thing.
And one knock at the door is all it takes to shatter it.
***
Juniper has fought for every moment of peace she's earned-every fragile connection, every stolen breath of safety, every unexpected bond with the men who were once forced into her life. What grew between them was never supposed to happen, yet it became the only thing keeping her grounded in a world designed to break her.
However, when a foundation isn't fully set, the smallest movement can cause a crack.
A man from Juniper's past arrives without warning. Carrying old memories and feelings she had forgotten. His arrival means salvation-a chance for the men she cares for to finally walk free, and for her to reclaim pieces of herself she thought were lost for good.
But not everyone has a sense of rescue from this new arrival.
The once relaxed conversations grow tense. Their easy closeness replaced with tight smiles and quiet arguments that stop when Juniper enters the room. The trust they built begins to splinter under the weight of unspoken fears. And something sharp and dangerous hums beneath the surface, a tension Juniper can't name but can't ignore.
As old memories blur with new promises, and as loyalties strain under choices no one wants to make, Juniper finds herself caught between the life she once dreamed of and the life she never meant to love.
Someone is keeping secrets.
Someone is afraid to lose her.
And someone is about to change everything.
