Selene Brooks thought moving back to her family's quiet hometown in Ohio would be simple. But she doesn't fit in, and neither does the town feel like home.
Then Rowan Holloway shows up: mysterious, intense, and impossible to ignore. There's something about him that's magnetic-and maybe dangerous.
As Selene gets drawn into secrets that lurk beneath the town's surface, she realizes some connections are stronger than she ever expected... and some people aren't who they seem.
In a place where curiosity can be deadly, Selene must decide how far she's willing to go for love and what darkness she's willing to face.
