I did not want to push pause on this one at any time. Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum made a great team telling this story.<\/p>\n<p>Eden Murphy a school teacher and preachers daughter needed extra cash to help save her dad&#8217;s school found herself at a cross road and became a server at a bar. She came face to face with the man she could not resist knowing he was not the wholesome man her dad would want her to find but all the same she was drawn to him like no other.<\/p>\n<p>Trent trying to keep his family safe and away from their past only to find the light to his dark. Knowing he needed to stay away from his new employee and his son&#8217;s teacher he couldn&#8217;t turn away from her. Can he protect Eden and his family from his past or will his past destroy them all.<\/p>\n<p>There were so many characters I loved in this story.\u00a0 I absolutely love Trent\u2019s little boy Gage. To be honest I think I need to know more about Trent\u2019s brothers too. I thought Trent was going to cold and ruthless but he proved me so wrong he is so sweet, kind and loving to his family and Eden. Eden and Trent endured so much grief and heartache over their lives. To see their story and their pasts unfold as the story was told was heartbreaking. I have to say the plot twist OMG. When things started adding up and clicking in place holly crap never saw it coming. I enjoyed every second of this book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A.L.
