Five years ago, Sofia Montoya lost everything.

On the night of her engagement party, her fiancé John tragically died—shattering her world and sending her fleeing from Colorado, from her past, and from the rage she’s carried like a secret.

Now, Sofia has built a quiet, carefully controlled life in Albuquerque. No one gets too close. Nothing pierces the walls she’s built around her heart.

Until Brandon shows up—John’s brother, the last person she wants to see.

Their history is complicated, and Sofia has no intention of revisiting it. But Brandon isn’t here for pleasantries— he’s here for the truth. The one Sofia never let herself ask for.

As old wounds reopen and buried passion reignites, Sofia is forced to confront the one thing she’s tried
hardest to avoid: the past.

Will uncovering the past tear them apart—or finally set them free?
