Synopsis:
After a failed teenage suicide attempt, Toni hit the road in search of a life free of undeserved cruelty and any resemblance to her past.
Years later, Toni is lost in a dead end marriage and makes a painful confession that sends her back to the one place she always wanted to escape. But can she really right the wrongs that haunt her? Toni soon finds that the only place where things stay the same is in your mind.
When her path crosses with David Stark, childhood playmate turned one night stand, she cannot deny the spike in temperature she feels every time he's near or the scorching dreams that flood her at night.
Digging through the years of heartache, Toni soon finds herself torn between the man she is committed to and the one who has always held her heart. As each layer unfolds before her, she discovers the root cause of her pain. Always believing the source was external, nothing could prepare her for the truth.
Review:
Sweet story. You would never expect the daughter of a strip club owner to be so sheltered. Toni wants so bad to have a normal life and a normal marriage. When she is face to face with David again you immediately, know there was more to their past story. It was so hard for me to read the first chapters of her and Davids reunion. I wanted to yell and tell her to just take a chance and see where it goes. I was shocked to find the truth out about Andrew. I was actually relieved that she could now be with David. Not often does this happen but, I think this has to be my all time favorite quote.. ***Cathy
