Maisy and I were safe, surrounded by people we loved, who loved us, in this place of warmth, laugher, and abundance. Everything I had to face prowled outside the borders of Starlight like winter-starved wolves…Serena Chandler had no idea what to expect when her Witness Protection contact brought her to Starlight Falls. She was on the run, trying to escape the abusive ex she was slated to testify against. When she came to Starlight, she was hoping for a place to hide. To Serena’s surprise, Starlight Falls turned out to be much more than a temporary sanctuary—it felt like home, And when she met the town Sheriff, Matt Murdoch, she found a love that felt like forever.
Matt is everything she’s ever wanted. He’s awakened her to a passion and joy she never knew she was capable of feeling, and loved her more completely than she ever thought possible. Serena embraces her new life in Starlight, working to build a successful business, and a new life with Matt. She finds healing in helping the women from the local Mother’s Home, a shelter for single women and their children. But she is still haunted by memories of her life before Starlight, and wrestles with doubts in her own ability to protect herself and Maisy, should she ever have to again.
Matt was all in with Serena from the moment he held her in his arms. He gradually won her trust, and then, her love. Serena and Maisy healed his heart; badly broken from his first marriage and the loss of the child he never got to raise. The two of them are everything in the world to him— his second chance at love, and a family— and he would do anything to keep them safe. The ghosts of Serena’s past haunt Matt as well, and he's tormented that he wasn’t there to protect her from the horror she and Maisy endured. He and Serena are finding their balance, and Matt is learning to walk the line between helping her face her fears, and shielding her from them.
But he’s also growing increasingly uneasy with the way her WITSEC contact is handling her case. He’s not sure Serena and Maisy’s best interests are the Marshal’s top priority—there might be other agendas at play. Serena starts to question if there is anyone, other than Matt, who she can trust. As perfect as life in Starlight feels, the threats that drove Serena to run still lurk in the shadows outside the town’s borders.
While Serena tries to find her way out of the maze of her past, a real and present danger lies in wait ahead. And Serena may not realize which direction the threat is coming from until it’s too late…
