Romantic Suspense
Date Published: October 2, 2025
Rose Everson Finch thought her childhood friendship with Finn Murphy would last forever. But a disagreement shattered their bond.
She returns to New York City, only to learn that love is an illusion.
She’s since moved back to Evers Hollow, caring for her beloved grandmother and hiking the woods that inspire her middle-grade books.
A late-night phone call will change her past, her present, and threaten to turn her future to ash.
Finn Murphy never told his best friend Rose that he loved her.
Not as they grew up together, or the night she committed to marrying another man.
He’s avoided their small town since.
But family obligations bring him back.
Now he’s made a promise:
To protect Rose.
