Olivia McAfee knows what it’s like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was shattered when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined she would end up back in her quiet New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business.

Lily Campanello is also familiar with fresh starts. When she and her mom move to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope for a new beginning. For a brief moment, these new beginnings provide exactly what Olivia and Lily need. Their lives intersect when Asher falls for the new girl at school, and Lily finds herself falling for him too. With Ash, she experiences happiness for the first time, but she questions whether she can fully trust him.

Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call: Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police. Olivia is convinced her son is innocent, but she would be lying if she didn’t acknowledge the glimpses of his father’s temper in Ash. As the case against him unfolds, she realizes he has hidden more than he has revealed to her.
