Raven Price’s old life shattered in one night. One hour. One moment. It was the moment she realized the dangerous world her fiancé was embroiled in. She made a choice—get out before it was too late. Now she’s back in her quiet hometown of Deep River with one goal, to make sure her parents are safe. Because if she’s going to protect them, she needs to be close.

He knows where she is. But as long as she keeps her mouth shut…she and her family get to live.

Former Navy SEAL turned search and rescue, Connor Blackwood enjoys the quieter life that Deep River offers. He doesn’t do secrets, not after being blindsided by an ex. And the woman who just walked back into town? She’s carrying plenty.

He tells himself to keep his distance. But when her ex decides she isn’t a safe bet, silence won’t save Raven. Connor’s her only protection, and he doesn’t hesitate. Because the more he gets to know her, the deeper he falls, and it’s not just her life on the line—it’s their entire future.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:

This was a great story! A hometown girl comes home after the disaster of her move with her high school sweetheart, planning to marry him only to find out who he really is. However, the danger has followed her and she’s not sure who she can trust or turn to if she needs help.

Sone of the town is happy to see her, and there are others that are making her life back in Deep River harder. Things seem to go from bad to worse for Raven Price when she finds her bank account drained, and she finally stands up to the woman that wanted her job, then things really get bad.

This series has been great, just all of Nyssa Kathryn’s books are. She writes great stories with men that are dangerous, but protective, and women that are strong and independent. I love all of her books and Raven’s story was a great addition. There are so many facets to the stories in this series. We are taken back in time, introduced to a multitude of towns folk that are quirky, mysterious, and nosey, but it all culminates in great stories with awesome characters. I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it, and I can’t wait for more of this series to come.
