After the tragic death of her closest friend and no-label lover, Harper Jameson finds herself uprooting her on-wheels life in the circus to plant solid roots in a small mountain town that feels like home. Submerging herself in making her newly purchased home her own, she’s ordering cabinet knobs, picking tea towels, and ditching her love of black for a new affair with all things pastel. She’s reinventing herself one polka-dot cup at a time.
A new job comes with new friends, and a tarot reading crushes her heart by predicting love. She doesn’t want love, but she can’t help but see the dark eyes of the dark man she’d seen watching her in Sweets, the towns retro bakery. When she finds herself going home with Renaldo Hainz after drinks at Pine Point, the town’s bar, Harper does her best to convince herself it’s a one-time thing. But one-time things don’t feel like this? Like the world is finally right, like she belongs. Do they?
When Ren finds ways to be in her life, Harper finds she can’t fight the way she feels. Soon, what sparks between them is more than physical. It’s more than she’s ever had before, and daydreams of the future begin to dance in her mind. She has a job, a relationship, and she’s happy—but someone sinister lurks in the shadows, always watching. When the horrors of the past collide with the promise of the future, will Harper survive a dance with the flame that’s already taken so much?
