A widowed homesteader. A relentless stalker. A fight for survival.
Summer Ballard has built a quiet life in historic Beaufort, South Carolina--running a golf cart tour, tending her self-sustaining farm, and raising her 14-year-old niece, Lucy. Still mourning the loss of her Marine husband, Andy, who drowned saving a recruit, Summer avoids technology and clings to her flip phone. But her peaceful world shatters when she discovers a tracker hidden in Lucy's backpack.
Fearing her niece is being targeted, Summer turns to Andy's cousin, Tate Forsythe--a tech-savvy widower raising his young daughter, Eliza. When Tate uncovers a second tracker on Summer's golf cart, the horrifying truth emerges: Summer is the stalker's obsession. Her image has been stolen and used on dating sites to scam men, and now one of them is determined to claim her.
As the danger escalates, Tate and Eliza move into Summer's home to protect her and Lucy. Together, they must unmask the stalker before Summer becomes the next victim. But as Summer's walls of self-reliance crumble, she's forced to confront her deepest fears: can she open her heart to connection without risking everything she loves?
