After being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of my abusive husband, all I want is to start a new life where no one knows me and my heart isn't at risk of making the same mistakes again . . .
After being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her abusive husband, all Jessica Smithson wants is to start a new life where no one knows her true identity. Maple Ridge is the perfect place to hide from the media circus battling to know who really rid her of the man. A question she can't answer.
The last thing she expects to find in the small idyllic mountain town is the good-looking and very persistent Troy Carson. From the moment he sees her, the ex-Marine is determined to help Jess with her anxiety attacks and to get to know her better. He's determined to help her renovate the old house she bought—a house with secrets hidden behind the walls.
Heat simmers and grows between the pair, but Jess can't risk getting too close to Troy. Can't risk her own secrets being revealed.
So much is at stake if the truth gets out.
Contains mature themes.
