"Cheerful, quick-witted, and charismatic" that's how the town of Marsh described the Davis sisters. But no one used those words for their father, Martin Davis, the town's no-nonsense cop.
Everything changes when their mother abandons them, running off with her lover and leaving the Davis family at the center of small-town gossip.
Allison, the eldest, did her best to hold her family together, raising her sisters while forging her own career. She built a life far away from Marsh, but a work emergency drags her back to the very town that haunted her past. Now she must face the memories she buried and, worse, the wrath of Dean Jones.
Dean, the son of the town's most powerful businessman, has never forgiven the Davis name. To him, Allison is a reminder of betrayal, scandal, and the night his family was torn apart. And though she once secretly loved him, Dean is determined to make her pay for sins she did not commit.
What do you do when the man you love is determined to make your life a living hell?
