One Impossible Moment

Kallie Clark was ten years old when she met the dark-eyed stranger on a lonely road.

He should have been a warning.
Instead, he became her secret.

She keeps coming back.

No matter how much time passes, no matter how far her life takes her, she finds him waiting in the same place. Unchanged. Watching. Like he has been waiting for her.

With Finn, she feels safe. Seen. Understood in ways no one else has ever managed.

And that is the most dangerous part.

Finn is a felon with a violent past, a man hollowed out by years of silence and things he can't undo. The only time he feels anything is when Kallie finds her way back to him.

She is the one thing he should never want.
And the one thing he can't seem to let go.

The closer she gets, the more the truth begins to surface. About Finn. About his past. About the darkness that follows him.

Because it isn't gone.
It isn't finished.

And if Kallie doesn't walk away soon, she won't just lose her heart to him.

She will lose far more than that.
