From Monty Jay comes a dark and suspenseful romance where buried secrets resurface, deception runs deep, and revenge is closer than ever.

Ponderosa Springs has always been a town built on lies. Beneath its surface, long-hidden secrets begin to unravel, exposing betrayal, bloodshed, and the truth behind those once trusted the most.

As tensions rise and the past threatens to ignite in full view, the return of a familiar face changes everything.

Sage was once seen as the town’s golden girl—but her sudden reappearance at Hollow Heights brings more questions than answers. Haunted by her sister’s mysterious death, she claims to be searching for closure. But not everyone believes her intentions are as innocent as they seem.

Especially him.

He knows what she’s capable of. He’s seen through her before—and he refuses to be deceived again. While others fall under her spell, he remains determined to protect everything they’ve built, even if it means turning her into his enemy.

As manipulation, secrets, and vengeance collide, their dangerous game escalates into something far more personal. Because this time, control isn’t so easily maintained—and not everyone will walk away unscathed.

In a town where nothing stays buried, and everyone has something to hide, one wrong move could set everything on fire.
