Mary Grace Winters had to reinvent herself. There was no other choice after her abusive cop husband threw her down the stairs for the second time causing her extensive injuries. Finding a safe house and a friend, she and her son change their identities and became Caroline and Tom Stewart and a new life began. She goes back to college, finds a secretarial position in the history department and when her mentor suddenly dies, in walks the new department head, the handsome Max Hunter. But little did Caroline know, her husband is not totally out of the picture. As their love grows and their literal scars are shown, Caroline’s past life reappears and both she and Max are in for the ride of their lives. No past is left buried for long, but with the love of friends and family there is nothing that they can’t face together. Not even a brutal wife beater.I can’t call this a fun book, but it does keep you turning the pages. Rose handles the topic in an honest way without it being preachy and the intimate scenes are warm without being too mushy. I enjoyed the book and will continue on with this author.
