Overview

Renee Harding fought hard to get off her family’s red clay dirt farm, and no way is she ever going back. She’s settled into bustling Meeks, Alabama and into her job as a schoolteacher.

She’s sure that she has everything she could ever want: a job, a pretty little cottage all to herself and enough money to pay her bills with a little left over. Independence. Freedom. Everything a modern young woman could want. Amelia swore she’d never return to her hometown of Meeks, Alabama. Why would she? The scandal that rocked her world and left her life forever changed also changed her as a person, and the memories of that terrible time in her life still linger.

But she’s tired of running, and tired of not having a real home. She’s back and she’s just purchased the worst, most run-down house in Meeks. It’s a crazy decision, but it feels right.

Two women. One forbidden love.

And a town filled with shattering secrets, secrets that could destroy both Amelia and Renee forever.
