the night we met

When Liana Davis moves to Massachusetts, she brings her only daughter, an emergency fund, and what may be her late husband's most valuable and dangerous secret.

When Dominic Carter moves into his fourteenth foster home, he is given an ultimatum: get along with his classmates, or be sent to youth confinement at thirteen years old.

When six-year-old Aurora Davis tumbles into Dominic's arms one night in Cambridge, he watches her fragile heart shatter between his hands, along with the last shred of his innocence.

As the years pass and the secrets of their collective past threaten to drown them, he remains determined to protect her childlike innocence.

No matter the cost.
