When Nora Donovan flees her controlling ex-fiancé in the dead of night, she isn't searching for a destination-only an escape. A dying phone battery and a raging mountain snowstorm force her off the highway and into the forgotten town of Haven Ridge... and straight to the weathered doors of the Silverwood Inn. There, she meets Graham Hart. Quiet. Steady. Haunted. The town speaks his name with a mix of sympathy and caution-the firefighter who couldn't save the family he loved, the man who keeps the past locked behind a room no guest is allowed to enter. Yet from the moment he offers Nora shelter from the storm, she feels something she hasn't known in years: Safety. But danger always catches up. Her ex has tracked her to the region. The roads are closed for days. And Haven Ridge has its own shadows-starting with the secrets Graham refuses to speak. As winter tightens its grip, Nora and Graham begin to trust one another in the quiet, vulnerable hours that follow. Her courage awakens his grief; his steadiness softens her fear. But when her past arrives at the inn's doorstep-and Graham's own is forced open like a door long barred-Nora must decide whether she's still on the run... ...or finally ready to choose a place, and a man, to run toward. A sweeping, emotional, and suspenseful winter romance about two broken souls who find healing-and love-at the very edge of nowhere.
