She was the good girl who desired the bad boy. He left the small town that tried to kill him to become someone better. Life don't always turn out the way you'd planned but these two will need more than grit to survive when fate brings them back together. Palmer had it all except what she truly desired . . . she came from money, but she learned early money didn't buy you love or class. What it did was buy you silence and fear. They say you can never go back home once you leave. For Keys, he never planned to step one foot back into the town he'd grown up in, a place he'd had any sense of love beat out of him. It only takes one message to change the course of two lives . . . when you find out your entire life was a lie; you have a couple of choices. Head into the lions' den and face your past like a man, or let sleeping dogs lie. Keys was never one to run from his past. Palmer didn't realize she'd stir up a hornet's nest of epic proportions when she located the only man who'd ever made her feel safe. If only they could live long enough to see if fate would allow them a chance this time around. Contains mature themes.
