Nathaniel Ericson thought grief was the final chapter. Ontario's death had rewritten everything he knew about love, cruelty, and what it meant to lose someone you never got the chance to truly have. So when a strange, eerily familiar man with a badge and a storm behind his eyes shows up in town, Nathan finds himself being pulled into a story he thought had ended years ago.
Orien Ryker is a rookie cop with a past no one knows. He's a man of masks and motives, hiding truths so sharp they could draw blood. But the heart doesn't care about secrets-or revenge. It beats anyway.
But Orien didn't come to this town by chance.
He came for revenge.
And Nathan? He's just a complication.
As the body count rises and the past bleeds into the present, Nathan is forced to question everything he knows. Because falling for a man who's been lying to you from the very beginning? That's dangerous.
But falling for a man with a death count that rises by the day
That's a heart on the line.

He's well respected, and amazing at his job. That said, greatness is expected of Salem as well. Of course that isn't a problem, Salem will always be loyal to the law. He was raised by it, and upholding it is his future career aspiration. He thinks he has his life figured out.

"Maybe not in this lifetime, but I hope in the next. You pinky promised to show me the ocean after all. And pinky promises are always kept." Kale replies with a sad smile.
