🧼 Plot Overview
Gunner James is a professional crime scene cleaner in New York, adept at erasing the physical remnants of death. However, his own past is a mess he's yet to confront. Eight years prior, he left his hometown and the love of his life, Reagan Orrick, without explanation. When a death in his apartment building connects back to Reagan, Gunner is compelled to return home and face the unresolved issues he left behind.
Reagan has spent the past eight years rebuilding her life after Gunner's sudden departure. When tragedy strikes her family, she must decide whether to trust the man who once broke her heart. As they navigate their shared past and present dangers, secrets emerge that could either heal or destroy them.

Modglin employs a dual timeline, alternating between past and present, to unravel the depth of Gunner and Reagan's relationship. This structure allows readers to understand the characters' motivations and the weight of their shared history.
