Everything was finally going well. I had a job I liked, a man I loved, and a future we were building together. And then the past came back to haunt me—and now I have to go back to the house in Appalachia where my parents had made my childhood a living hell. Where Noah and I had been broken, over and over, as the people who were supposed to love and protect us tried to turn us into something we weren't and would never be. It was a place I'd never wanted to go again. But I now I have to. Because the parents I never meant to speak to again are dead, and Noah's fingerprints were found all over the kitchen. I didn't know why Noah went back, what had happened to my parents, or whether my psyche was going to make it through a trip back to middle-of-nowhere rural Virginia. Or my relationship. I'd finally managed to convince Elliot to give me a chance, and he was about to find out about a lot of skeletons in a very deep, very dark closet. I could only hope that he'd be willing to help me bury the bones.
