From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a small-town, forced-proximity romance with a grumpy, single dad, a woman on the run, and a stalker who won’t let her go…
After witnessing a crime, I ran.
For three years, I’ve hid from everyone.
I abandoned Birchwoods Spring, my home, my plans, and the life I planned to build.
I told myself it was the only way to stay safe.
But when my grandmother falls ill, I have no choice but to come back—even if it means confronting the past I tried to escape.
The moment I step onto my land, I feel it. The unease creeping in. The prickle at the back of my neck.
Someone’s been here. Watching. Waiting.
They know I’m back.
And they want me to know it, too.
I should leave. Pack up. Disappear—again.
Then I see him.
Hopper Timberbridge, my high school crush.
He’s no longer a gangly teenager. Now, he’s gruff, guarded, and fiercely protective of the life he’s built with his daughter. He doesn’t pry, doesn’t push—just takes everything in with knowing eyes that see too much. And when the threats escalate, he offers me a place to stay, a refuge I know better than to trust.
Because whatever’s lurking in the dark?
It isn’t just watching anymore. It’s coming for me.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
After witnessing a crime three years ago, Nysa left home and has been on the run ever since. But with her grandmother ill, she heads back home… and walks right into danger. Her savior comes from the hot grumpy single dad next door, Hopper — who also happened to be the older guy she crushed on back in high school.
When mysterious things begin happening on their properties, Nysa and Hopper decide it is best to stay together (with his daughter, Maddie) and not be alone. Along with the sizzling sexual chemistry between them, there is the element of suspense woven throughout the story. Who is trying to take over the town, and why? The identity of the villains kept me guessing right up to the moment of the reveal.
I really enjoyed the slow-burn romance between Nysa and Hopper in this story. It built naturally, and I found it easy to relate to the characters, therefore rooting for them to get together. The story is narrated in duet by Connor Crais and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker, two phenomenal voice actors who always bring such charisma to whatever story they are telling.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
