Heartbroken, Scarlett left town after her best friend Claire's sudden death. Now a bestselling author struggling with writer's block, she returns to her hometown Lockwood Creek for a fresh start. But when Scarlett starts receiving letters in Claire's handwriting, dated after her death, with inside jokes only her and Claire could know, she turns to Aiden Sinclair, the sheriff's son and the boy she once left behind.
Once the golden boy of Lockwood Creek, Aiden Sinclair was full of life. But years under Sheriff David Sinclair's shadow hardened him, forcing him to see the cracks beneath the town's perfect facade. He never understood why Scarlett left, and now that she's back and digging into a past better left buried, he can't stay away, even if the truth is dangerous.
Together, they unravel Lockwood Creek's darkest secrets, only to realize some are worth killing for.
