Chapter 1: The Date
Samantha agreed to a first date she never should’ve accepted. Ten years ago, Scott shattered her heart and disappeared from her life like a wreck vanishing into fog on a no-fault road. Now he’s back, watching from across a crowded bar just as her charming new date begins to reveal something far darker beneath the surface.
When the night turns dangerous, Scott faces a choice: protect the woman he once loved, leave her to the stranger’s cruelty, or pull her into schemes of his own making. Some roads don’t lead home.
