Sheriff Trent Evans knows Lynn came to the Pass to hide, but after so many years and all of the resources of the Rocks River Sheriff's Office at his disposal, he's no closer to knowing Lynn's true story now than he was at seventeen. The only things he knows for sure are that he'd do anything to protect her, and being "just friends" gets harder every year that goes by.

When a mysterious pregnant woman escapes from a violent religious cult and rolls into Shadow Pass on fumes, Lynn's runaway radar is on high-alert. Against her better judgment, and the pleas of those who love her, Lynn reaches out to help her. Getting involved comes at a steep price, threatening the security of her secret life and relationships with the people who sacrificed to save her.

Soon, Lynn is in over her head and Trent is the only one she can count on. Will relying on him blur the lines of the friendship they've worked so hard to protect? And how much of her true self must she reveal in order to protect a stranger? She trusts Trent with her life, but with her secrets? That's something else entirely.
