Avery Carson, a twenty-eight-year-old woman who feels trapped in her own skin, is the sole, credible survivor of a mass shooting. Despite a shaky memory, she can recall enough details of the gunman to land herself in protective custody and two-thousand miles away from everything she has ever known, including her overbearing, pretentious grandmother, a consuming career she no longer wants, and the abusive relationship she was trapped in.

Under the backdrop of the Colorado Rockies, Avery must decide who to trust as she begins her journey of rediscovering herself in the absence of her past. Just as she is opening her heart to new possibilities, including the infuriatingly attractive ranch foreman, Dalton Hayes, she remembers a key detail of the shooting that exposes devastating secrets, shattering everything she thought to be true, and compromises her safety in the small-town she has come to call home.

Avery is now in a race against time as her past threatens to catch up with her. Can she trust those who are tasked to protect her? Or will she sacrifice herself to protect the ones she loves.
