Everyone told photographer Piper Matthews she was damaged goods. For three years, she believed them. Now she's in Montana near the famed Resting Warrior Ranch with a camera, determination, and scars both visible and hidden. She thinks she's finally found peace and a way to start over. Until her lens captures a brutal murder in the remote mountains and Piper becomes the prey in a deadly game. Lachlan Callaway takes his new job as the sheriff of Garnet Bend seriously. He loves this town, and the people here, despite the trauma he hides. When Piper shows up terrified and alone, something in this quiet beauty pulls at parts of him he thought were long dead. As the killer's trail leads them deeper into darkness, Piper must trust the one thing she swore she never would again—her heart. And Lachlan will have to prove he’s the man to keep it—and her—safe.
