Embark on an emotionally charged, romantic suspense that will take your heart on a rollercoaster ride. From the brilliant mind of Amazon bestselling author SM Stryker comes a gripping tale of first loves, best friends, and the chance to rewrite destiny.

??? A love forged in the shadows of their pasts -- can two broken souls heal each other before the weight of their secrets destroys them????

A wounded Marine. A woman chasing the truth. A past that refuses to stay buried.

Toby Mitchell learned early that trust was a dangerous illusion. Passed from one foster home to the next, he built his walls high and his heart into something unbreakable. Only the Marine Corps ever gave him purpose, but even that was ripped away when a mission overseas left him with scars he couldn't outrun. Now back in Oregon with nothing but a truck and a fractured soul, Toby isn't looking for redemption -- he's just trying to survive the silence.

Raven Whitehorse has spent her entire life haunted by questions no one will answer. Her mother vanished when she was a child, and no one -- not the police, not her family, not even the whispers in town -- believed it was anything more than abandonment. So, she runs away to find the truth. Never stopping her search for answers. She grew up chasing shadows, fighting to uncover the truth behind the lies, and shielding her heart from anything that might pull her off course.

Then she meets him.

One accidental meeting. One glance into eyes that carry too much pain. And suddenly, the guarded world Mitchell built starts to crack.

Mitchell doesn't want to feel anything, especially not for the stubborn, beautiful woman who looks at him like she sees past the armor. Raven doesn't want to trust anyone, least of all the brooding stranger who makes her heart race and her walls tremble. But when the past resurfaces with a vengeance, their fates become violently intertwined.

Because the secrets Raven's chasing? They're darker than she ever imagined.

And Toby's past? It's not done with him yet.

Together, they'll uncover a truth that ties them in ways neither saw coming. But with every answer comes a deeper risk. And when old enemies resurface and betrayal hits too close to home, Mitchell and Raven will have to decide if love is enough to survive the storm -- or if some scars are too deep to heal.

Gripping. Emotional. Addictive. Mitchell is A fierce, heart-wrenching romantic suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Mitchell and Raven's journey is one of raw emotion, explosive revelations, and the unbreakable bond of love and fate.

***This story has been lovingly revised and thoughtfully expanded, shaped by my own growth as both a writer and a person. What began as a simple draft has evolved into something far more layered, emotional, and true to the characters' journey -- and mine.
