About This Book
Set in the small town of Clifton Forge, Devney Perry's second novel in the series drops Genevieve Daylee into a tangle of grief, family estrangement, and danger. Her mother's death has left her with more questions than answers, a brother who resents her existence, and unexpected ties to the town's former motorcycle club. When a killer threatens her safety, the solution comes from an unlikely source: a forced marriage to Isaiah Reynolds, a guarded mechanic whose closed-off manner conceals a complicated past. Two strangers now share a home, navigating distrust and proximity in equal measure.
Maxine Mitchell and Jason Clarke split the narration between Genevieve and Isaiah, giving each character a distinct emotional register. Mitchell captures Genevieve's wry resilience under pressure, while Clarke brings a measured, restrained quality to Isaiah that makes his rare moments of openness land with weight. The dual-narrator format suits Perry's slow-burn romance well, letting listeners feel the tension building from both sides before the inevitable collision. At under ten hours, the pacing moves briskly without sacrificing the small-town atmosphere that defines the series.
