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?
