Claimed: Beneath the Pines, Nothing Stays Buried by Sophie Winters

She runs a quaint antique shop in a sleepy mountain town. He’s a tattooed drifter chasing a family secret.

Brooks Lindgren has spent years curating a life of peace in Silvercreek—her grandmother’s shop, her morning routines, and a town that never asks too many questions. But her quiet world is upended when Nico De Luca rides into town with piercing eyes and a hidden agenda.

He claims he’s just passing through. But he’s searching for something—something Brooks wears around her neck and doesn’t even know she’s guarding.

As sparks fly and tension simmers, Brooks and Nico are pulled into a dangerous dance between inheritance and desire, loyalty and betrayal. When shadows from Nico’s past collide with truths buried in Brooks’ lineage, both will have to decide:
Is the truth worth losing everything you never thought you needed?

A story of obsession, legacy, and unlikely love—this is a romance where every secret has teeth.
