She's holding it together. He's about to undo her.
Raine Matheson came back to Haven's Corner for one reason: survival.
Her city life has imploded, her exit plan is already written, and this small-town homecoming is supposed to be temporary. Haven's Corner may be farmers' market gospel, proudly weird, and full of the unconventional love that raised her, but Raine left for a reason. She wanted normal. Distance. A life that didn't know every soft place she was trying to hide.
Then a family crisis pulls the rug out from under her, and the life she ran from becomes the only thing holding her up.
Worse? Haven's Corner is gearing up for its famously chaotic Faerie Festival, where glitter is currency, secrets don't stay secret, and the whole community shows up whether you asked for it or not.
Then Zephyr Wilde-coffee shop owner, local legend, and human sunbeam with steel under the smile-steps in like he belongs beside her. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. He just stays.
And the longer Raine tries to keep her walls up, the more impossible it becomes to keep him out.
Especially when he makes falling apart feel like coming home.
