My name is Sloane Whitaker, and I know how Cedar Ridge works. My father chairs the town council. My family has a name. I have spent seventeen years learning exactly how much of myself to show.
Then I started writing an anonymous column in the school paper.

I told myself it was journalism. I told myself it wasn't about Theo Ramirez.

It wasn't journalism. It was definitely about Theo Ramirez.

He's from the Graywater side. He takes the 6:47 ferry every morning. He's been watching me long enough to know the difference between my public face and the other one.

He's the wrong person to know my secrets.

He's also the only person I trust with them.

And somewhere underneath all of it — underneath the column, the divide, the careful silences — is a boy who disappeared on Ferry Approach Road fourteen years ago, and a search that ended where the budget did, and a question this town has been hoping nobody asks.

Somebody's asking.

An atmospheric slow-burn romance — aching, earned, and impossible to put down. Perfect for readers who love forbidden tension, small-town secrets, and a couple worth rooting for.

In Cedar Ridge, silence is inherited. What breaks it is earned.
