Some people leave. Others never let you go. Drew was both.

By the time I was ten, I’d lived in four different towns and learned that my mother’s next drink always mattered more than I did. Stability was a luxury I never had—until I met Mel. Her family became my safe haven, the closest thing to home I’d ever known.

But I hadn’t expected Drew, Mel’s older brother. Falling for him was easy. Hiding it was impossible. Every glance, every lingering touch told me he felt the same, but I refused to risk the only real family I had. Then, without a word, Drew left.

Now, years later, I’m back in town for work, and avoiding him isn’t an option—especially when Mel volunteers him to help me scout photography locations. Then a storm rolls in, trapping us in a remote hunting cabin with no power, no escape, and nowhere to hide from the past.

Stuck together, they’re forced to face the truth—and the pain. The truth will change their lives. But can they find a way through it together?
