Snow seals Juniper Falls in silence — the kind that hides footsteps and keeps secrets warm.
Ivy comes back to rebuild a life and keep her head down. Cal Mercer reads danger the way he reads weather, and this town carries pressure under every smile. A break-in turns into a pattern. A child becomes leverage. A ring becomes a key. Doors start to feel hungry.
As Ivy and Cal dig for answers, the threat stops looking human and starts looking organized — a network that feeds on truth, fear, and silence. Trust turns into a weapon. Love turns into a liability. Every step forward opens another door.
A full-length romantic suspense novel with small-town secrets, mounting danger, slow-burn heat, and a series-ready ending.
