Y/N leaves in the middle of the night with everything she owns packed into the back of her car and a single plan: disappear before anyone notices how badly she’s falling apart. A small mountain town seems like the perfect place to do it. Quiet mornings, a job at a local café, and enough distance from her old life to finally breathe again. The only problem is Elias Colt—the firefighter with tired hazel eyes and a habit of noticing too much. Because Elias sees through every forced smile, every excuse, every attempt she makes to keep people at arm’s length. And no matter how many times Y/N convinces herself she’s too broken, too complicated, too difficult to love— Elias stays.
