Description

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a gripping emotional thriller that brings together a young mother and a successful consultant under heartbreaking circumstances.

Children’s book author Elle Portman is enjoying a rare evening out at a Texas county fair with her two-year-old son, Charlie, when their night takes a horrifying turn. A gunman opens fire on the crowd, sending people into a frenzy of fear and chaos.

Among those caught in the turmoil is Calder Hudson, a corporate consultant who later wakes up in a hospital bed, shaken but alive. As he learns the fate of others who weren’t as fortunate, Calder becomes determined to seek justice.

When he crosses paths with Elle at the police station, an unexpected connection forms between them. Drawn to one another, they find comfort in their shared grief, yet they can’t escape the question that lingers—whether their bond, forged in tragedy, is too painful to endure. And with the shooter still on the loose, the danger is far from over.
