But in his mind’s eye, the place had changed. Nothing softened a man better than the touch of a woman. He knew this first hand and had sought the last five years to forget it.
There it was again, though. The warmth, the joy her laughter gave. The sparkle that kissed a man’s mind when he knew a woman had been around. And an ache in his heart where emptiness lived. He wanted to feel something again but feared the truth he’d tried to hide might ruin his chances.
Dexter Tilford did the worst thing a man could do, he cheated on his bride and ran from town, leaving a trail of heartache behind him. Five years later, he’s gotten right with God but still carries around the guilt of his actions … and hasn’t repaired the rift it left between him and his family.
Wendy Halloran hasn’t dated since an old boyfriend dumped her for someone else, years ago. She’s poured her energies into working, instead, spending days and nights at the local dance-hall restaurant. A late-night encounter with Dex gives her a glimpse of what she’s been missing. She should let go and enjoy life more.
Yet trusting a man again proves hard to do, especially when there’s so much baggage between them, and soon, the secrets they haven’t shared send them, full circle, back to worst days of their lives. Only this time, it includes murder.
*Other retailers includes Apple, KOBO, Nook, Scribd, Smashwords, Overdrive, and many others.
