Ember Harding, having recently fled an abusive marriage in L.A., seeks refuge in the remote reaches of Maine. Haunted by the fear of her ex-husband Gabriel discovering her whereabouts, she encounters Hale, the man who delivers her groceries. Yet, Hale harbors secrets of his own. Amidst the unraveling of his mysterious past, the menace of a masked intruder, and a dark secret hidden within her new home, Ember is forced to confront her fears and heal from her trauma. The question remains: Will Hale be her savior from the nightmares that chase her, or will he ignite the flames of destruction?

Certain scenes depicted involve domestic abuse and manipulation. This book was written fictitiously but has been carefully laced with personal experiences to better craft the story and shed light on mental health conditions.

***This is a first draft, so more than likely, I will be updating some of the chapters as I go through and edit.
