About this audiobook
Harper Larkstone spent the night with a stranger who watched her strike an old neon tube to life like it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and by dawn he was gone and she did not even have his last name. She told herself it was one perfect night in the Mojave and nothing more. Six weeks later, standing over a burner in her failing sign shop with a copper taste on her tongue and a test in her hand, she understood exactly how much more it was going to be.
Harper restores dead neon, the dying art of bending glass and running current through it, and she knows the first truth of the trade: a tube tells you nothing until you strike it. Only under load, only with the power running, do you learn whether the seal holds and the color burns true. She could not find the man from that night, so she decided to raise the baby alone, on her own terms, in the town where her family has kept the lights on for forty years.
Then the investor who buys the derelict resort whose landmark sign she is hired to bring back turns out to be him. Mateo Kirkthorpe does not know the woman under the sign is the one from that night, and he does not know she is carrying his child, and every day they work together the truth gets harder to keep and more dangerous to tell, because his family has the money and the lawyers to take a child and call it love.
Told in three voices, Harper's, Mateo's, and her clear-eyed sister's, this is the story of a secret that cannot survive contact with the truth and two people deciding whether what they built in one night can carry the weight of a whole life. To earn the family he never knew he wanted, Mateo has to give up the deal, the money, the future his mother planned, and stand with empty hands and ask, and Harper has to decide whether a thing that started in the dark can ever be trusted in the light.
