Kate McKinney didn’t move out to the middle of nowhere to build a new social circle—she came for silence.
The kind that doesn’t blare through emergency dispatch calls or pull her back into the life she’s desperate to leave behind.
But when an elderly man disappears from his secluded cabin—and his niece vanishes with him—Kate can’t help paying attention. A dented pickup. An overgrown trail no one should be using. And the unsettling sense of being watched on her walk home after dark.
The sheriff brushes it off as neighborly concern. Kate knows better. It’s a warning.
Her first and fiercest ally is Boone, the wary rescue mutt who only trusts her. Yet as the tight-knit town starts to close ranks, Kate discovers unexpected allies in the quiet—people who remind her she might not be as isolated as she thought.
In a place where everyone knows everyone, someone is betting she’ll keep her mouth shut.
They’re about to regret it.
