After the sudden and tragic suicide of her father, Aela-a sharp-tongued Parisian with a bruised heart-is forced to return to her childhood farm in the depths of the French countryside. Saddled with overwhelming debts, moody cows, and nosy neighbors, she's barely holding it together.

Enter a stranger. Kineshi Yamaguchi-half-French, half-Japanese, with the bearing of a fallen samurai and the tattoos of a man who's seen too much. He arrives in response to her desperate call for help. But something about him whispers danger... and maybe salvation.

As secrets simmer and tensions rise, Aela and Kineshi must navigate the fragile territory between mistrust and desire, between rural drudgery and emotional reckoning.
