Amber Rowan came to Cherry Creek to vanish.
A brutal attack two years ago stole her memories, her boyfriend’s life, and her sense of safety. The police called it unsolved. Her friends stopped calling. Now, in this sleepy New York town, she’s rebuilding with flour-dusted aprons and quiet nights.
Until the messages start.
Intimate details. Sickly familiar threats. Only her attacker could know.
Enter Dalton Vale.
Ex-special forces. Mechanic with haunted eyes. He appears like a shadow—intense, protective, dangerously magnetic. Their connection ignites a slow, scorching fire that burns through her walls, leading to nights of raw surrender and whispered confessions.
But Dalton knows too much. Shows up too often. And when a woman linked to Amber’s past turns up dead, the truth fractures.
He’s not here by chance.
Someone is hunting her. Someone who thinks Dalton stole their prize. As obsession collides with desire, Amber must unearth the memory she’s buried—or lose herself forever.
From P. Hartwell comes a dark romance where love is the deadliest obsession, and the past never truly dies.
