My father left me a failing maple farm and a set of books confessing a secret, bankrupt history. To save my sisters from ruin, I have to untangle a 150-year-old mystery. The only person who can help is Logan Evans, the quiet town librarian and my secret high school crush.
He lives in a world of stories. I live in a world of numbers. But in the dusty archives, our worlds collide. Every ledger we open reveals another layer of a partnership between our families that ended in betrayal. The stone wall separating our properties feels more like a battle line every day.
Logan believes the truth will save us, but the truth is what I’m most afraid of. He holds the key to the past, but I’m starting to think he holds the key to my future, too. How can I trust the man whose family name is stamped all over the lie that could destroy mine?
