From bestselling dark romance author J Rose comes a heart-wrenching why-choose romance about healing, found family, and the kind of love worth fighting for.
Everleigh Banks is running from a past she can't escape.
Living under a false identity and carrying the scars of an abusive marriage, Hawkthorpe is supposed to be a place to disappear. A quiet mountain town where she can finally start again.
But she never expected three men with broken hearts of their own to become her safe haven.
Sterling is gruff, fiercely protective, and still grieving the mysterious death of his wife.
Leo is sunshine incarnate, determined to heal everyone around him.
Fletcher, a former pilot, carries the weight of survivor's guilt and a silence that speaks volumes.
Together, they offer Everleigh something she's never had before: a family, a future, and a love without limits.
But secrets have a way of finding their way into the light.
As Everleigh's carefully constructed lies begin to unravel, she'll be forced to confront the darkness she left behind. Because some ghosts refuse to stay buried.
And this ghost wants his wife back.
