  • Peace
  • is
  • a
  • gift
  • you
  • sometimes
  • have
  • to
  • walk
  • through
  • fire
  • to
  • receive.Roman
  • Smirnosky
  • wants
  • nothing
  • more
  • than
  • to
  • work
  • and
  • be
  • left
  • alone.
  • After
  • years
  • of
  • being
  • on
  • his
  • own
  • and
  • building
  • a
  • business,
  • he
  • thinks
  • he's
  • finally
  • found
  • peace.
  • All
  • that
  • changes
  • with
  • a
  • single
  • phone
  • call
  • informing
  • him
  • his
  • brother
  • is
  • in
  • the
  • hospital
  • and
  • his
  • parents
  • are
  • dead,
  • murdered.
  • Returning
  • to
  • the
  • town
  • he
  • left
  • behind
  • sixteen
  • years
  • ago,
  • he
  • soon
  • realizes,
  • helping
  • his
  • brother
  • is
  • the
  • easy
  • part
  • of
  • returning.
  • Someone
  • has
  • moved
  • into
  • the
  • old
  • Beecher
  • place.
  • A
  • female
  • someone.
  • He
  • figures
  • if
  • nothing
  • else,
  • offering
  • to
  • help
  • with
  • repairs
  • on
  • the
  • Beecher
  • house
  • while
  • he
  • attends
  • to
  • his
  • brother's
  • farm
  • during
  • his
  • recovery
  • will
  • provide
  • a
  • welcome
  • distraction
  • from
  • the
  • nightmarish
  • memories
  • that
  • haunt
  • him
  • since
  • his
  • return
  • home.
  • He
  • quickly
  • realizes
  • he
  • couldn't
  • be
  • more
  • wrong
  • when
  • accidents
  • and
  • threatening
  • phone
  • calls
  • start
  • to
  • plague
  • the
  • young
  • woman.
  • He’s
  • definitely
  • no
  • hero,
  • but
  • walking
  • away
  • from
  • a
  • fight
  • isn't
  • his
  • way
  • either.
  • It
  • doesn't
  • hurt
  • that
  • her
  • determination
  • and
  • strength
  • tempt
  • him
  • to
  • distraction
  • and
  • his
  • quiet,
  • solitary
  • life
  • is
  • about
  • to
  • be
  • thrown
  • into
  • chaos.Kaia
  • Beecher’s
  • inheritance
  • is
  • a
  • mixed
  • blessing.
  • It
  • means
  • the
  • parents
  • she
  • adored
  • are
  • gone
  • and
  • she’s
  • heartbroken.
  • However,
  • it
  • also
  • gives
  • her
  • the
  • opportunity
  • to
  • change
  • the
  • direction
  • of
  • her
  • life.
  • After
  • breaking
  • off
  • her
  • engagement
  • and
  • losing
  • a
  • job
  • her
  • heart
  • wasn't
  • really
  • into,
  • she
  • decides
  • to
  • return
  • to
  • the
  • one
  • place
  • she
  • can
  • where
  • she
  • has
  • happy
  • memories,
  • her
  • grandparents'
  • farm
  • in
  • Colorado.
  • The
  • farm
  • couldn’t
  • be
  • more
  • different
  • from
  • the
  • high-pressure
  • life
  • of
  • her
  • criminal
  • defense
  • career
  • in
  • New
  • York.
  • Packing
  • the
  • few
  • things
  • she
  • wants
  • to
  • keep
  • and
  • her
  • dog
  • Copernicus,
  • she
  • heads
  • west
  • in
  • search
  • of
  • peace.What
  • she
  • finds
  • instead
  • is
  • fear,
  • distrust,
  • and
  • threats.
  • Even
  • the
  • handsome
  • man
  • offering
  • to
  • help
  • her
  • repair
  • the
  • farmhouse
  • tells
  • her
  • she
  • should
  • leave.
  • If
  • people
  • hate
  • her
  • family
  • so
  • much,
  • why
  • didn’t
  • her
  • father
  • sell
  • the
  • farm?
  • Why
  • is
  • everyone
  • determined
  • to
  • run
  • her
  • off
  • her
  • property?
  • She's
  • determined
  • to
  • find
  • out
  • why
  • someone
  • wants
  • her
  • gone
  • and
  • she
  • won't
  • leave
  • until
  • she
  • has
  • the
  • answers.
  • She's
  • also
  • determined
  • to
  • break
  • down
  • the
  • walls
  • Roman
  • has
  • built
  • around
  • his
  • heart
  • and
  • help
  • him
  • stop
  • living
  • in
  • the
  • past.
  • She
  • only
  • hopes
  • that
  • her
  • inquisitive
  • nature
  • along
  • with
  • pure
  • stubbornness
  • will
  • help
  • her
  • find
  • the
  • answers.
  • Or,
  • will
  • her
  • caller
  • take
  • her
  • chance
  • at
  • love
  • away
  • before
  • it
  • has
  • a chance?
