Tory Bodeen grew up in South Carolina, in a small run-down house, where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt, and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. But she had Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasnt allowed to be at home: a child.

After young Hopes brutal murder, unsolved to this day, Torys life began to fall apart. And now, as she returns to her hometown with plans to settle in and open a stylish home design shop, she is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of the past. As she forges a new bond with Cade Lavelle, Hopes older brother and the heir to the family fortune, she isnt sure whether the tragic loss they share will unite them or drive them apart. But she is willing to open her heart just a little, and try.

Living so close to those unhappy memories will be more difficult and frightening that Tory could have ever expected, however. Because Hopes murderer is nearby as well.
