He spent a lifetime trying to escape his dark past…but to save her, he’ll wade back into the shadows.

Braedyn Winslow never expected to return to Starlight Grove—the town that took everything from her. Not after her best friend, the one who’d sacrificed so much for her, vanished without a trace. But with a young son to raise and a past that won’t stay buried, Brae is back…and determined to uncover the truth.

She just didn’t count on the brooding, reclusive mountain man living next door.

Dex Archer is the stuff of local legend—silent, rugged, and surrounded by whispers of his and his brothers’ violent father. But Brae sees through the scowl and his parentage to the man beneath: fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind…and just dangerous enough to protect her when someone starts warning her off her search.

The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to stay away from Dex. And as things get more perilous, Brae realizes the only person she can rely on is the one man who swore never to trust again.

Only someone isn’t happy that Brae has been digging, and they’ll do anything to stop her. But Dex? He’ll do anything to save her, even slip back into the dark....

Absolutely LOVED this!

In true CC fashion, I was wrong about guessing the twist yet again! But I absolutely love our queen of romantic suspense and how her mind works to give us these books that I cannot put down! And after finishing this book, I am already loving Starlight Grove and these Archer men!

I’ve been ready for Dex since we first got glimpses of him in Sparrow Falls and he is literally everything I’d want in a MMC! He fiercely protects those people in his circle and I could not stop swooning over how Braedyn & Owen quickly became a part of that group. Despite everything he has thought up until this point, he cannot ignore the pull he feels towards Brae and the slow burn between them was *chef’s kiss*.

And Brae is so strong and fierce, despite everything she has overcome to get to this point. And while it’s been difficult, she has never stopped looking for her Supernova.

The audio is performed in duet with Samantha Brentmoor as Braedyn & Jason Clarke for Dex and they did a fantastic job bringing this book to life. I love how their emotions come through and it was so seamless and enjoyable to listen to!

Welcome to Starlight Grove

This is a masterpiece! I loved the cast duet narration— all of the performers were amazing and engaging bringing the story to life. The writing and story were perfection! I was absolutely enthralled from the first chapter. I was suspicious of everyone and was still blindsided by the twists and turns! The love between Dex and Brae was beautiful and heartwarming and so real. I am already in love with all of the Archer brothers and cannot wait for more!
