She curates perfection for a living. He's the brutally real secret she never saw coming. Juniper Vale's life is a meticulously edited feed of sun-soaked beaches and effortless glamour. As a travel influencer, she's a master of illusion, but when her car dies on a lonely mountain road, her world of filters and hashtags collides with a harsh, unfiltered reality. She's vulnerable, stranded, and completely at the mercy of the first person who finds her. That person is Rowan Holt. A brooding, broad-shouldered mountain man who runs the local cider mill and looks at her with a mixture of lust and disdain. He's a walking, talking embodiment of everything she's not: authentic, raw, and dangerously real. He offers her a place to stay, but his protection comes with a tantalizing price: a truth she's forgotten how to tell. Trapped in the charming, quiet town of Willow Creek during its magical Harvest Moon festival, Juniper finds herself drawn into a thrilling and provocative game of surrender. Every glance is a challenge, every touch a forbidden spark. This is no place for a city girl, but in the arms of a man who promises to shatter her carefully constructed world, she'll discover a side of herself that's wanton, wild, and utterly shameless. In a town holding its breath, will she succumb to a passion so savage it threatens to expose her completely, or will the dirty secret of her own heart be the one trap from which she can't escape?
