True love never fades—and old secrets never die…
Nora hasn’t looked back. Not since she fled Texas to start a new life. Away from her father’s volatile temper and the ever-watchful gaze of her claustrophobically conservative small town, Nora has freed herself. She can live—and love—however she wants. The only problem is that she also left behind the one woman she can’t forget. Now tragedy calls her back home to confront her past—and reconcile her future.
Sophie seems to have everything—a wonderful daughter, a successful husband and a rewarding career. Yet underneath that perfection lies an explosive secret. She still yearns for Nora—her best friend and first love—despite all the years between them. Keeping her true self hidden hasn’t been easy, but it’s been necessary. So when Sophie finds out that Nora has returned, she hopes Nora’s stay is short. The life she has built depends on it.
But they both find that first love doesn’t fade easily. Memories come to light, passion ignites and old feelings resurface. As the forces of family and intolerance that once tore them apart begin to reemerge, they realize some things may never change—unless they demand it.
Customer Reviews
Great Read
This was superbly written with shocking and relatable dialogue. If not for ruthlessly building up the sexual tension and then mercilessly depriving us of unwrapped lovemaking repeatedly, I would have given this 5 stars. I was like a dagger in the heart truly.
So goof
Mirrors my upbringing in so many ways. Fell in love with a girl when I was 17 in small town Alabama. Was banned from seeing her and “excommunicated.” Our reunification several years later proved that we weren’t meant to be together forever, but she’ll always be my first. Lovely book. It’s nice to feel understood.
