True love never fadesāand old secrets never dieā¦
Nora hasnāt looked back. Not since she fled Texas to start a new life. Away from her fatherās volatile temper and the ever-watchful gaze of her claustrophobically conservative small town, Nora has freed herself. She can liveāand loveāhowever she wants. The only problem is that she also left behind the one woman she canāt forget. Now tragedy calls her back home to confront her pastāand reconcile her future.
Sophie seems to have everythingāa wonderful daughter, a successful husband and a rewarding career. Yet underneath that perfection lies an explosive secret. She still yearns for Noraāher best friend and first loveādespite all the years between them. Keeping her true self hidden hasnāt been easy, but itās been necessary. So when Sophie finds out that Nora has returned, she hopes Noraās stay is short. The life she has built depends on it.
But they both find that first love doesnāt 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 changeāunless they demand it.
