I am about to lose everything.

My home. My name. My future.

My husband was involved in something that could cost us our lives, and on his deathbed, he demands my daughter and I flee Britain. I had no idea he found her biological father, Holden James, in Rose Canyon, and that's where we'd start over.

The moment we see each other, feelings I'd long forgotten rush over me. Holden doesn't hesitate to care for us. We find ourselves reaching for each other, even when we should hold back. His smile warms me, his arms protect me, and against my better judgement, I fall for him. All the possibilities of a future are threatened by a looming past.

I'm being hunted, and it's just a matter of time before someone finds me guilty of crimes I didn't commit. Whatever trouble my husband was involved in won't evade me forever.

I am trying to keep my promise and stay for Holden, but I don't know how long it'll be before we have to run.

My name was Sophie Pearson, but I vanished, just like my hope to ever find love again.
