Samantha Hayes has built her life on control, keeping chaos and danger at arm's length ever since a traumatic event shattered her sense of safety. But when a chance encounter with Ethan Cole, a daring photojournalist with a past as complicated as her own, pulls her into his orbit, her carefully guarded walls begin to crack.
Ethan thrives on chasing the untamed-whether it's capturing war zones on film or embracing the thrill of the unknown. Drawn to Samantha's strength and vulnerability, he sees in her a reflection of his own fears and an anchor he never knew he needed.
As they navigate the shadows of their pasts, a sudden threat forces them to confront their greatest fears. Together, they must decide: can love be the light that guides them through the darkness, or will the weight of their fears drive them apart?
