Description:
In a dark, why-choose romance about the healing power of chosen family, a woman finds sanctuary in a remote town and in the arms of three men desperate to claim her--even as her abusive past continues to hunt her down.
Everleigh Banks has a secret.
Living under a false identity, she's plagued by the lingering trauma of her husband's cruelty. Hiding in the small town of Hawkthorpe is a last-ditch effort to bury the evil she's fled.
It's a fresh start, but she didn't count on three complications carrying their own demons to steal her fragile heart and refuse to surrender it.
There's Sterling, hot-tempered and gruff, a widower grieving his wife's mysterious death. Leo, Sterling's adoptive brother, the playful optimist who seeks to fix everyone. And Fletcher, the stoic former pilot, struggling with survivor's guilt from the crash that stole his voice.
Their love defies limits, but under the cloak of snow-capped mountains, these four are happy to share.
As Everleigh's lies spiral out of control, she'll have to face her past to protect their future. Because no matter how deep the darkest secrets are buried, some ghosts can't be outrun.
And this ghost wants his wife back.
