Chapter One

When Narnie Larson moves from the chaotic glamor of San City to the quiet streets of Holden, she doesn't expect to encounter Ezra Parker. Brooding, gentle, and scarred by a tragic past, Ezra is unlike anyone she's ever known. Drawn together by midnight conversations and fleeting adventures, they fall into a bond that feels fated: achingly beautiful, yet always on the brink of collapse.

But Holden is no haven. Beneath its picket fences lies a town teeming with secrets. As its strangeness unravels, Narnie must confront what it means to love someone who was never hers to keep, and what it might cost to try.
