SYNOPSIS
After her mother’s sudden death, Rory Lane is home again. It
has been fifteen years since she escaped Mount Pleasant and everyone and
everything in it. Now she must oversee the closing of her mother’s
affairs.
The only bright spot is Rory’s blossoming friendship with
boarder CJ Rausch. Rory senses that CJ just might be her soul mate, but the
handsome excavator is somewhat of a standoffish loner.
After an unthinkable event, Rory’s life spins out of
control, and she must deal not only with her grasping, selfish sister, but also
a manipulative, wannabe suitor. CJ offers Rory a way out, but at what price?
Beware: Everyone has secrets in Mount Pleasant…And they enjoy them!

EXCERPT
Looking into the mirror, he wondered what Rory saw when he
took off his sunglasses. Her initial reaction had been similar to most people
when they saw his eyes for the first time.
As a child, he was viciously teased for having what the kids
called “vampire eyes.” They were eyes he would never have wished for, but inherited
from his mother. His eyes were so green and sensitive they hurt when exposed to
bright sunlight without sunglasses, further purporting the rumor he wasn’t
really human, but some kind of vampire or creature from space. But he was a
man, pure and simple. The blood running through his veins was red like everyone
else.
All he wanted was to find a nice comfortable life and enjoy
it to the maximum, and if he could find someone special enough to share it
with, so much the better. But with this want came a nagging fear. Having lost
his mother so early in life and sharing a distant, even guarded relationship
with his father, he wasn’t sure he knew how to love anyone in the way they needed
and deserved. It wasn’t because he was cold or cruel; he honestly didn’t know
how to express his emotions, and that scared him.
How could you sustain a relationship if you didn’t know how
to make someone happy, or live up to their expectations of you? His parents
barely tolerated each other’s presence until they divorced. Even though he was
young at the time, it stuck firmly in his memory how unhappy they really were,
and how they made every effort to make each other as miserable as possible,
before they finally separated.
