Cassie Wilder never meant to land in Rider, Wyoming—but trouble has a way of catching up. Years ago, she helped her late boyfriend bury three million dollars of stolen gang money. Now his old crew wants it back, and they’ll stop at nothing to make her talk.
Sheriff Silas Brenner has kept Silverton County safe for decades with steady hands and a clear code: the truth is always the best policy. But when Cassie arrives, all restless spirit and secrets she refuses to share, his ordered world tilts. Protecting her means inviting danger into Rider—and into his heart.
As the gang closes in, Rider buzzes with whispers, fear prowls the streets, and Silas must decide how much truth the town—and Cassie—can handle. For Cassie, trust could cost everything. For Silas, honesty could shatter the walls he’s built around his heart.
When lies won’t keep them safe, only courage—and each other—can.
