A Willow Creek Novel

After years of enduring cruelty-first at the hands of her father, then from the man she thought she loved, Sophia Carson is finally able to disappear. With nothing but a battered heart and and her satchel bag, she escapes to Willow Creek, Texas-a dusty speck on the map with quiet streets, wide skies, and kindness she doesn't know how to trust.

There, she meets Tate Owens-local cowboy, single father, and the first man who's ever made her feel safe. With his gentle patience and fierce protectiveness, Tate begins to chip away at the walls Pia built to survive. But healing doesn't come easy. Especially when the past refuses to stay buried.

Just as she starts to rediscover who she is-an artist, a mother, maybe even someone worth loving-a viral video threatens to expose her new life. And her ex? He's been watching.

As wildflowers bloom and secrets unravel, Sophia must decide if she'll keep running-or finally stand and fight for the life, and the love, she's always deserved.
