Sometimes home is the refuge you need--and sometimes it isn't**
When her aging grandmother needs care, Adelaide Davies returns to
Whiskey Creek, the place she once called home. But Adelaide isn't happy
to be back. There are too many people here she'd rather avoid, people
who were involved in a horribly violent night fifteen years ago.
Ever since the graduation party that changed her life, she's wanted to
go to the police and make sure the boys responsible--men now--are
punished. But she can't, not without revealing an even darker secret. So
it's better to pretend....
Noah Rackham, popular, attractive, successful, is shocked when Adelaide
won't have anything to do with him. He has no idea that his very
presence reminds her of something she'd rather forget. But he was the
only good thing to come out of that awful experience, and opening her
heart to him could mean finally finding happiness--after all, fear is no
match against love.
