About the book

Rayna Nydert thought she’d made peace with the life she didn’t get. Then trouble lands on her farm and changes everything.

She’s spent years building something steady on the Double Moon. The work is honest, the land is hers, and the future feels clear enough. Especially if she doesn’t let herself think too long about Thomas Archer.

She has done her best not to dwell on him. Their history runs deep, and some losses never stop aching. But when Rayna finds an injured young man hiding in her fields, Thomas is the first person she calls. Soon he’s staying under her roof, helping her protect a boy with dangerous people on his trail, and reminding her just how much still lives between them.

As the threats surrounding Mason begin to unravel, it becomes clear he isn’t running from one bad situation. He’s the key to something far larger, and far more dangerous, than either of them expected. The deeper Rayna and Thomas get pulled in, the harder it becomes to keep their distance from the boy who needs them. Or from each other.

For Rayna and Thomas, protecting Mason may be the very thing that forces them to face the past.

And decide whether they’re finally ready to fight for a future together.
