Shy and painfully guarded, Wren has spent years hiding from the world behind chores, classrooms, and the safety of solitude. Letting a stranger into her home is the kind of mistake she swore she’d never make again.
But Keegan is exhausted, half-frozen, and burning with fever. Leaving him outside could mean leaving him to die.
Snowed in together on the isolated farm, Wren finds herself drawn to the scarred cowboy with haunted blue eyes and secrets dark enough to follow him across state lines. Keegan claims he means her no harm, yet every instinct warns Wren the troubled stranger is running from something dangerous.
And when the past Keegan has been hunting, finally catches up to him, Wren must decide if trusting him will heal the loneliness she’s lived with for years…or destroy the only home she has left.
