    About this ebook

    A mistake made long ago . . .
    Pain buried so deep . . .
    When Bailey Trent returns home to her small Ozark mountain town after being away for nearly six years, she is prepared to face the ghosts of her past. It does not mean she’s prepared to come face to face with the cruelest of those memories.
    Darren Cory’s life is a shell of what it once was, and when he’s forced to look at the cause of his agony over and over, hatred rises to further blacken his days. But hating Bailey also destroys him, forcing him to become someone he doesn’t recognize or want to be.
    Can Darren find a way to move past the pain and forgive the woman he once cared so much for before his anger consumes them both? Or will he drag them both into the hell of an unforgiven past?

      What a depressing book! I've been reading it for the past three days (that should have been a sign). It seems I should stay away from contemporary romances (not suspense, just romance).

      Bailey did something horrible thanks to her teenage stupidity and, well, being the greatest jinx in the world. She is back now and has to endure so many bad things from Darren and the rest of the people in that terrible town. Not saying that what she did is not serious and bad, but most of them act as if they are saints.

      There is so much angst packed into this book, you could generously spread it over a couple of books and still have a decent amount of it in each. Still, I must be honest and admit that I'd probably forgive most of it if this were a historical. There is something about contemporary stories that makes me not like them. I don't have a justification nor an explanation for it. It just is.
      It made me angry too.

      The story (and eventually Bailey's great sin) is revealed through alternate chapters - past and present. Can't say I enjoyed that. It is the worst form of foreshadowing.

      There is a sequel. I guess that horrible town has more to say on the matter.

      You'll love this if you prefer lots of angst in your books. It does have a happy ending though, but by the end you might stop caring.
