What if everything you knew about your past turns out to be...wrong?

Ten years after leaving home, the last thing Summer Thompson expects is to inherit her estranged father's half-renovated mansion. And the last thing she wants is to face the memories of the night her brother died—sketchy as they may be. Now a San Francisco museum curator, she plans to stay east just long enough to settle the estate and get rid of the house. Until she finds it occupied by a hunky handyman who's strangely reluctant to talk about his past.

Damian Knight has something to hide: his mother and sister from a brutal stalker. They've found a measure of peace and carefully guarded safety in Pine Point. Yet when the lonely, haunted Summer steals his heart, he finds himself opening up to her in ways he should never risk. Especially to a woman who's planning to return to the west coast—after selling their refuge out from under them.

Summer's mounting flashbacks leave her confused—and more determined than ever to find out the truth behind her brother's death. But in a small town full of powerful secrets, confronting the past could cost her the man she loves. Even her life.
