This series just keeps getting better and better!! If you've read the first seven books of the series you know that Phoenix was sent to prison for vehicular manslaughter.

The person she killed was the girl that Riley started dating after he'd broken up with Phoenix because of pressure from his parents. You also know that Phoenix gave birth to Riley's son during the first year of her sentence. Phoenix never held her baby and Riley got full custody of Jacob.

Now it's 16 years later and Phoenix is home, living in a run down trailer next door to her dysfunctional mother. Phoenix is hoping that Riley will allow her to get to know her son. That is all that she wants and she doesn't want to cause Riley any problems. Riley has spent those 16 years hating her and doesn't welcome her return to town, he doesn't trust her and definitely doesn't want her in Jacob's life. But this story is about love and forgiveness and second chances and learning to trust again.
