No one ever really gets over their first love, but when it’s ripped from you, it tears a piece of your soul.

Lily James left Peak Valley on a bus in the middle of night ten years ago and had no intentions of ever returning, after all it could cost her everything. But when her brother Forest calls, telling her their mother is dying, Lily is willing to risk it just to spend a few nights with her mom.

Warren McKnight has spent the last ten years wondering what happened to the love of his life. No one knew what happened to Lily James. She disappeared without a trace. But when she returns, unharmed and looking as beautiful as she did when she disappeared, he wants answers. 

The more Lily tries to avoid Warren the more buried secrets come to the surface. Buried secrets that have a deadly price.
