When twenty-year-old Lillie Brooks witnesses a high-profile crime in downtown Chicago, her life is flipped overnight. Whisked away from everything familiar, she's given a new identity-Emily Carter-and relocated to a quiet coastal town in Oregon under the Witness Security Program.
Emily is told to keep a low profile: no real friends, no old habits, and absolutely no falling in love.
But fate clearly didn't get the memo.
Enter Ryan Vaughn-mysterious, charming, and frustratingly observant. He's the sheriff's nephew with secrets of his own. Despite her best efforts, Emily finds herself drawn to him in a way that threatens the fragile walls she's built.
As Emily tries to hide her past, she uncovers pieces of Ryan's-pieces that link back to the very people she's hiding from. Now, staying safe means risking trust. Falling for someone might just bring her enemies closer.
But maybe love, real love, isn't about staying hidden. Maybe it's about finally being seen.
