Seaside, New Jersey. Carrie Carters haven of safety is shaken. When Carrie and her sister Lindsey arrived in Seaside, they were homeless and running scared. Now over ten years later, Carrie runs the local cafe and the women have made a new life for themselves. When one of their employees is found dead and a young waitress goes missing, Carries safety is in question.

Greg Barnes is nursing a pain from his past that threatens to keep him from any future happiness. However, when he sees Carries need for help, he willingly puts himself on the line to help her. But the cost just might be too great for him. Flashbacks and memories invade his thoughts and heart pulling him back into his mental abyss.

Imperfect characters, love and hatred, and a story of forgiveness and new starts make this book a must read. It is written in both first and third person viewpoints. At first I found this distracting, but by the third chapter it flowed smoothly. I was surprised at how deep this story went. Not your typical fluffy romance. The suspense and mystery thrown in was really intriguing and held my interest through out the book.

I would definitely recommend this book and Im looking forward to reading more by this author.

Many thanks to Waterbrook Multnomah for my review copy of this book. All of the opinions expressed here are mine.
