Ashleigh Combs thought running from the altar would set her free.Instead, it shattered everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and herself.

Trying to outrun the wreckage of her past only leads Ashleigh right back to Ben. Charming, magnetic, and impossible to escape, he offers her everything she once dreamed of—a farmhouse far from the whispers of Jonesborough, a future she can finally hold onto, and a life that looks perfect from the outside.

But perfect things rot from the inside out.

As strange incidents begin piling up around town and Detective Waters investigates a growing pattern of violence against young women, cracks start forming in the life Ashleigh fought so hard to build. The farmhouse begins to feel less like a home and more like a cage. Ben’s love becomes harder to separate from control. And the deeper Ashleigh sinks into the life she chose, the more she realizes some people don’t let go quietly.

When the danger surrounding her stops feeling distant and starts feeling personal, Ashleigh is forced to confront a terrifying question:

What if the person she trusted most is the one she should fear?

In a story filled with obsession, betrayal, and the kind of love that refuses to die, the stars that once guided Ashleigh home may finally go out.
