DJ survived every woman’s worst nightmare. But escaping her kidnapper was only the beginning.

​

Back home in Emerson Grove, everyone wants to protect her—especially the fiercely loyal men of The Remington Group. Their constant vigilance comes from love, but to DJ it feels like she’s traded one prison for another. Healing means reclaiming her independence… even if the people who love her aren’t ready to let go.

​

Cory has his own demons to face. Before leaving on a dangerous mission, he gives DJ three words she’s not ready to return—and a promise to meet her in the same place when he comes home. If he comes home.

​

Meanwhile, another love story is unfolding. Blaze, Carlos, and Deanna have spent months dancing around an undeniable attraction, discovering that sometimes the heart doesn’t choose just one person. In Emerson Grove, family is built by loyalty, trust, and the courage to love without limits.

​

But while everyone is focused on moving forward, the past is quietly gathering strength.

​

Because some secrets refuse to stay buried.

And when they finally surface, they’ll change everything.
