One moment. A single decision… an accident.
Cost me six years of my life.
All of my hopes and dreams vanished.

Until I was given back my freedom and the opportunity to start over… doing whatever I could to survive in a world much different than the one I knew before.

I was working on my degree and waiting tables when my fate changed.
An older man with silver hair and a fancy suit walked in, looking like he wanted to save me.
He came for pie. But he offered me a job.

When I turned him down, he sent his son, Hudson.
The arrogant, sex on a stick wore me down.
I took the job.
I accepted his friendship.
And slowly, over time, I began to feel things for this man I knew I shouldn’t.

They gave me a home.
A family.
And then it was all ripped away.

Now nothing can erase all the ugly things.

This was a book that took me on an emotional roller coaster. As soon as read the synopsis I knew that I wanted to read it because it sounded so amazing and it was more than I had expected.
Lilly at the young age of eighteen ends up in prison for a crime that she didn’t commit, she is set for ten years but she gets out on parole six years in on good behaviour. Now that she’s out she doesn’t know what to do with her life. Her backstory is just heartbreaking, I just wanted to hug her. That is until she bumps into Hudson Valentine, for the life of her figure out why someone like Hudson would want to help someone that is an ex-convict?
This is only the first book but I’m just dying to know what happens in the second one. This book felt real, raw and pulled at your heartstrings. I have to say that this is one of my top books of the year.
