Shadows and Starlight

Seventeen-year-old Eliana Shaw thought she understood where her life was heading-until her father died and her stepmother demanded she sign away the only thing her late mother left her. Running from London with nowhere else to go, Eliana shows up at the Miller farm in Willow Creek... the one place she swore she'd never return.

Because going there means facing Gabriel Miller. The boy whose mother abandoned him to marry her father. The boy who looks at her like she's the shadow of every wound he's never forgiven.

Eliana only asks for six months of safety. But can a girl who has always been treated like an outsider find a home in a world that was never meant for her? Can she prove to Gabe that she isn't her stepmother's puppet-or will her presence reopen scars neither of them are ready to face?

As friendships form, secrets unravel, and feelings blur the lines between past and future, one question remains:

Is half a year long enough to change everything... or will fate break them both again?
