The Secrets We Hide

When Cassia Greene returns home after years lost to silence and shadows, she expects distance to have softened the past. Instead, it seems to be waiting for her. The town still whispers her name like something fragile, and the faces she once trusted now hold questions she can't answer.
Arden Lockwood has always been impossible to read. Quiet, controlled, and watching her in a way that feels less like a coincidence and more like a lost memory. The closer she moves toward him, the more everything begins to unravel. The version of her past she was forced to believe no longer fits. The pieces don't align, and neither do the feelings she can't seem to escape.
