The Sins That Made Us

Some love stories begin when two people meet. Theirs began twenty-one years earlier-with a lie.

Natasha has always known exactly where she belongs: on horseback beneath the Montana sky, surrounded by the animals she loves and the family that raised her. But at eighteen, she's ready for something bigger.

Acceptance into her dream veterinary program takes her hundreds of miles from the only home she's ever known to Texas-where her older brother, Bryan, has already built a life of his own.

Natasha has a plan. Study hard. Become a veterinarian. Stay out of trouble.

Then she meets Luke.

Twenty-one, tattooed, reckless, and carrying enough demons to drown in, Luke is everything Natasha has spent her life avoiding. He drinks too much. Fights too easily. Trusts almost no one. And despite the pull between them, loving someone is the one risk Luke refuses to take.

Natasha isn't interested in saving him.

She doesn't realize he might awaken something in her instead.

As attraction turns dangerous and the life Natasha thought she understood begins to fracture, buried choices start clawing their way back to the surface.

Because Natasha and Luke's paths didn't cross by accident.

And long before either of them knew the other's name, someone made a choice that would change both of their lives.

Some sins don't disappear. They wait.
