The Distance Between Safe Places

Wren Holloway knows how to disappear.

Leave the phone. Change the name. Never stay anywhere long enough to be remembered.

After escaping Caleb Mercer-the charming boyfriend no one else believed she needed saving from-Wren has only one plan: put as much distance between them as possible.

Then her car breaks down outside Blackwater Ridge.

Stranded in an isolated mountain town where everyone knows everyone, Wren finds a room above an old bookstore, a place at a crowded lunch table, and friends who refuse to let her remain invisible.

And then there's Rowan Hale.

Quiet. Guarded. Patient.

He makes Wren wonder if safety could be more than a temporary place to hide.

For the first time in years, she begins to build a life.

Until a photograph of her appears online.

Then the message arrives.

You look happy.

Windows are left open.

Her belongings disappear.

Flowers from her past appear outside her door.

Someone is watching her.

Wren knows what she should do.

Run.

But leaving Blackwater Ridge means abandoning the first people who have ever made her want to stay.

Caleb may have found her.

Or someone else knows exactly who she is.

Either way, Wren is done disappearing.

Because sometimes the most dangerous thing a survivor can do is stop running.
