Today is my thirtieth birthday. My parents mailed me a gift, like they always do, but I accidentally nick my thumb while opening the box. A tiny drop of blood wells on my skin. And without thought, I press the tip of my thumb between my lips and close my eyes. When I open them, I’m no longer in my apartment. I’m on the side of a mountain. Standing in the rain. Convinced this isn’t real, I seek shelter in a cave. But I’m unable to stop myself from moving deeper into the cavern. Where I find him. A man, lying inside a hidden chamber, sleeping atop an altar.

Deacon Sharpe spends his days serving homemade ice cream and his nights alone, pretending he’s getting by after his wife’s death better than he is. His world is rocked when a man shows up who claims to have been his brother-in-law’s best friend.

Colby Covington has no clue if there’s anything in the world for him beyond Briar County. His family assumes he’ll do as they do: work Covington Acres, get married, have kids.

In his mid-forties, Vincent O’Brien is starting over in the small town of Harmony. After being cheated on, again, he’s sworn off ever falling in love. As fate would have it, Vince needs a place to stay, and Colby has a spare room.
