My life was perfect. I had everything I wanted, including the love of a man that intended to make all of my dreams come true.
Until…
“…the night my life as I knew it ended.”
In the blink of an eye, all I'd once known was ripped away. Suffering in limbo, full of fear and regret, I had only memories and dreams to comfort me, urging me to fight.
"...marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled..."
But they stole it all.
Awakened to betrayal and pain, I struggle to find a new beginning. Yet the past seeps in, pulling me under. No matter how hard I try to keep my head above water, it threatens to ruin me.
How can I really live with my hopes for the future still frozen? And if the ice thaws, will I have the courage to build new dreams?

SHELLY'S 4 STAR REVIEW:
Awakened to betrayal and pain, I struggle to find a new beginning. Yet the past seeps in, pulling me under. No matter how hard I try to keep my head above water, it threatens to ruin me.
This story starts out with Emmy being kidnapped and held captive in a basement. Her captor preaches the bible to her daily and tells her she is whore who needs to be saved. One day she manages to escape and "come back" to reality. This is where Ms. Williams threw a curveball in the story. Emmy decided she needs to escape Florida and moves to Michigan and live with her cousin and her roommates. She gets a job and starts school and tries to get on with her life. Emmy meets Gannon and they get on each other's nerves.
This is a story of a first love betrayal and a second chance for love. It takes time for Emmy to heal physically and mentally. As she makes friends she can start to let go of her past and piece her heart back together. I loved that the relationship between Emmy and Gannon was a work in progress. They did not fall in instant love. It was realistic and will tug at your heartstrings. At some point Emmy needs to put her past relationship to rest. Can Gannon and her relationship stand up to this test? Will they get their happy ever after? Ms. Williams has you guessing if the HEA comes right up until the last chapter.
"I want to put your heart completely back together again."
I love all of the characters in this book including the secondary characters. All of the secondary characters play a very important part in this story. The characters will pull you in and make you laugh and cry. Emmy and Gannon's relationship will have you biting your nails one minute, laughing the next and then swooning at times.
"They're beautiful. Each and every one of them." His fingers drop down to the sprinkle of tiny scars on my arms. "They mean you survived. They mean you're alive. They mean you're here with me."
This story has just the right amount of love, angst and sexiness.

I'm a stay at home mom to three crazy kiddos all under the age of five. I'm married to my high school sweetheart and I like to think we're living our own happily ever after. My contemporary romance's are all about the happy endings but of course there's lots of twists, turns, and a whole lot of drama added in. That's the fun part, right?
