Briarwood: Uncovered
Cass Wilder, Max Powers

Book One of the Briarwood Series
By Max Powers & Cass Wilder
Elena swore she’d never fall for Jack Talbot again. Not after the affair. Not after the silence. But when he stumbles back into her life—unaware that the photograph he’s admiring is hers—the gravity between them reignites with dangerous intensity.
Jack never stopped thinking about her. Not really. Not after that final afternoon. Not after the messages that suddenly stopped. Now, standing across a crowded gallery, he's faced with a memory made flesh—and a desire that never fully died.
What begins as a slow unraveling becomes a sensual reckoning—of what they lost, what they still want, and what it means to be truly seen.
Set in the deceptively quiet town of Briarwood, where secrets simmer behind picture-perfect facades, Uncovered is a fiercely intimate story of second chances, deep longing, and the kind of love that dares you to stay. Written with heat, humor, and emotional honesty, the Briarwood Series explores sex and connection in all their messy, gorgeous, deeply human forms.
