Synopsis

She came to escape the past. He came to face it. But neither expected to find danger waiting…
Paige McFarland came to New Freedom to hide and finish her work. A brilliant paramedic with a classified past, she’s spent years developing life-saving technology to protect soldiers—driven by the heartbreaking loss of her fiancé. But when the couple who took her in are run off the road, and their daughter—Paige’s best friend—is threatened, she realizes danger has found her.
Scott Crafton had never planned to return to New Freedom, but he couldn’t turn down the opportunity to prove to the town that he was no longer the hot headed teen he had been. Haunted by the past and the town’s whispers about his connection to a long-ago disappearance, he was done running and took the position as the new fire chief. When his parents are nearly killed in a suspicious crash, his focus is split between protecting his sister, uncovering the truth, and fighting for his second chance.
As a ruthless enemy sets their sights on Paige, Scott finds himself caught between duty, his desires, and the shadows of his past. The closer they get to the truth, the deadlier the game becomes. Will they expose the enemy before Paige vanishes like the girl Scott couldn’t save? Or will history repeat itself—this time, with even higher stakes?
