First Light

Some secrets are worth hiding. Some are worth risking everything to reveal.

I came to Haven Island to disappear. New name. New identity. New life. Trusting the wrong person could expose everything I've sacrificed to protect.

Then Logan steps into my world—Haven's police chief, with perceptive eyes that see too much. He's recovering from his own wounds, but there's something undeniably protective about him that draws me in despite every instinct screaming to keep my distance.

He shares his past freely. His failed marriage. His disillusionment. His journey toward redemption.

I share nothing but carefully crafted lies.

With each sunrise we spend together, I fall deeper. With each touch, I risk more. Logan swore to uphold the law, while I'm living outside it. The people looking for me don't forgive mistakes. And if they discover where I've been hiding, Haven Island won't stay peaceful for long.

If my past catches up to me, I'll face an impossible choice—trust the man I'm falling for with the truth that could destroy us both, or lose the first real chance at love I've ever had.
