Small town love, broken hearts and a woman looking for a way down, back to her roots and the man she should have chosen all those years ago. Abbey knew she should have left Tom the first time he hit her. Or the second time...or the third... But she didn't. She didn't leave until she gathered enough courage and fled with her two children back to her hometown. Right back into the arms of the man she should have married, the man who had changed from a gangly teenager to a stunning and sexy police officer. The man who would slowly help her heal and show her the way down, back to her roots, back to love and back to the safety of his arms. Unless Tom has his way...if he can't have her, then nobody will. ***WARNING*** This is a romance with a happy ever after, but it’s packed with angst, drama, sensual sex, and swearing which means it’s best left for those 18+.
