After losing her husband and mother within a span of two years, Verity C. Huntington, a #1 international best-selling romance author, trying to figure out life as a single mother has now been tasked to be her best friend’s Maid of Honor and the wedding will be held in none other than the small town she swore she would never return to and has stayed away from for the last 13 years - Adelaide, Texas.

On a whim, Verity decides to pack up her kids, flip the home and the barn, sell them- and her memories of Adelaide - for good. But her plans hit a snag when Dean Carson- her first love and now Adelaide’s sheriff- reenters her life, determined to have her fall in love with him once more.

But he’s not the only thing making her heart race.

The longer she stays in her mother’s house, things begin to go bump in the night, shadows crawl, dark secrets resurface, and stranger things are playing tricks. With her heart and her sanity on the line, she must confront the dark truths hidden in Adelaide’s shadows. Can she escape unscathed once again, or is something far more sinister lurking in a quiet Texas town?

Wow, just wow, this book just blew me away, a story that lures you in right from the start, taking hold of your attention where nothing else around you matters except what is going to happen next in the book. It is best to go in not knowing anything, so avoid spoilers, enjoy the intense and wild ride in the moment and watch it all unfold. I loved the originality and complexity of the story and the characters, the unique telling of the story, alternating timelines, giving glimpses of the past and what brought them to where they are in the present. Verity C. Huntington could not get out of Adelaide, Texas fast enough, finished H.S. early and even her own mother supported her decision knowing the place was bad for her. She returns years later after her mother’s passing, with plans to renovate the old farmhouse, a house that is haunted with ghosts and terrible memories. Her friend wants to hold her wedding there, the place she met her fiancé, and Verity plans on selling it after. Then there was Dean Carson, the boy she loved, but she had to follow her big city dreams, hoping he’d follow, which did not happen. Dean is now a man, and the town’s Sheriff, and he never stopped loving Verity, and it may not have been their time in the past, he knew it was their time now. The chemistry between Verity and Dean was smoking hot, and I enjoyed watching them reconnect, as well as seeing their past relationship grow and build. Ruby M. Darling weaves a complex and mighty fine web around these characters, creating a multilayered story, and it was great watching it all unfold and seeing all the pieces fall into place. Besides Dean and Verity, there are some great side/secondary characters, too, including Verity’s two kids, Savannah and Noah, who stole several scenes. There is never a dull moment in this book, with non-stop drama, angst, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments that give you the chills, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. The writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Ruby M. Darling, thank you for this amazing story and the intense and wild emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Andi Eloise and Caden Hart delivered an incredible performance, giving each character a voice that was fitting for a perfect portrayal of each. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound, young and old. Eloise nailed it as Verity, grasping all sides of her personality, from her insecurities to her strength, determination and fierceness. Hart did the same as Dean and was just as amazing at showcasing his personality, from his angst to his protective side. Both were fantastic at performing the roles of the side and secondary characters too. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they conveyed all the characters’ emotions, making you feel each one. These two entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to, and their captivating performance rivets you to the story

Dean. That’s it. That’s all there is to say, Dean has stolen my ❤️. I typically don’t love flashback books, but I loved this one because they all had Dean.

We need more books with Caden! He stole the show.

Dean… where have you been all my life

I love Ruby’s writing! However this one was very different. I’m actually feeling indifferent about it. The performance by the narrators was excellent the story was just…I’m not actually sure how to explain it. I love Dean’s character so there was that.

I held off reading this, and I am so glad I did. This audio is perfection. The story is amazing, I never really knew which direction it was going and my guesses were all wrong. Narrators were amazing and really brought it to life.

I see a Ruby Darling book and already know I am going to love it, but this may be one of -if not the favorite of hers. Very spicy, but always new spice. This one did spook me a bit, didn't want to listen to it in the dark.
get it, trust me!
