As the final consequences of old choices close...

She survived the fire.
Now something is watching the ashes.

In Hill Country Ridge, quiet doesn’t mean safe.
It means someone is watching.

Hill Country Ridge has seen its share of secrets—
but Raven Strickland’s might be the one that finally sets the whole town on fire.

One kiss. No promises.
