Maeve felt as though her world was flipped upside down. New town. New people. Where would this life lead her?

But after years of loss and pain, her new hostess helps show that maybe her life has not been flipped upside down as she thought, but rather been made right side up.

Ethan has been living a lie. New name. New identity. New duties assigned to him. Lying every day begins to feel normal. But what happens when his whole fake world ravels away beneath him?

Now that his undercover role has been blown, he goes back home to recuperate. What he didn't expect was to find someone else living with his mom. He extends a hesitant friendship with her, and the two forge a bond.

But is that bond enough to overcome past enemies that threaten them and their loved ones, as well as the personal fears that creep into their hearts like ice? Can they ever find lasting peace and love in a life they both desperately hope is real?
