But by night, she escapes to the quiet solitude of a lake beneath the stars. That's where she meets Reed, a brooding, kind stranger who offers her the sort of safety she's never known. There's an unspoken connection. A shared ache neither of them can name. But when Halley's best friend introduces her new stepdad, everything shatters. Because that stepdad is Reed. With a love as equally forbidden as it is all-consuming, Halley and Reed are forced to navigate a storm of secrets, guilt, and longing. As years go by and lines blur, they must decide if love is worth the risk--especially when it could destroy the only family either of them has ever known. A haunting and hopeful story of healing, desire, and a love that refuses to be ignored.
