Two women escape to a picturesque Vermont inn hoping to reinvent their lives—but the secrets hiding under its roof threaten to destroy everything they’re trying to rebuild. As a brutal winter closes in, a mysterious young woman arrives with a dangerous past that no one can outrun forever.

When overworked attorney Kira Danner trades the suffocating heat of Florida for a snow-covered bed-and-breakfast in rural Vermont, it feels like the fresh start she desperately needs. But rebuilding her life alongside her husband, Peter, means sharing close quarters with his reckless younger brother Rand—and Rand’s enigmatic wife, Alyssa, a woman Kira barely knows and isn’t sure she can trust.

For Alyssa, the move is supposed to be another adventure, a chance to outrun the heartbreak of learning she may never have children. Together, the two women throw themselves into renovating the charming inn and preparing for their first major event: a glamorous winter wedding that could save the struggling business.

Then Dawn arrives.

Quiet, withdrawn, and clearly frightened, the young woman they hire seems desperate for a place to hide. But Dawn’s secrets are darker—and far more dangerous—than anyone suspects. As tensions mount inside the inn and a shadow from Dawn’s past closes in, the fragile bonds between the women are tested in ways none of them could have imagined.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of a Vermont winter, this emotionally gripping novel explores family, friendship, marriage, and the risks we take when we dare to start over.
