RT READER'S CHOICE WINNER!
Sometimes home is the refuge you need—and sometimes it isn't
When her aging grandmother needs care, Adelaide Davies returns to Whiskey Creek, the place she once called home. But Adelaide isn't happy to be back. There are too many people here she'd rather avoid, people who were involved in a horribly violent night fifteen years ago.
Ever since the graduation party that changed her life, she's wanted to go to the police and make sure the boys responsible—men now—are punished. But she can't, not without revealing an even darker secret. So it's better to pretend....
Noah Rackham, popular, attractive, successful, is shocked when Adelaide won't have anything to do with him. He has no idea that his very presence reminds her of something she'd rather forget. But he was the only good thing to come out of that awful experience, and opening her heart to him could mean finally finding happiness—after all, fear is no match against love.

     Gang-raped as a sophomore by a group of popular high school seniors, shy Adelaide Davies kept quiet and fled Whiskey Creek as soon as she graduated. Now, more than a decade later, her reluctant return threatens the lives and reputations of the men involved, and someone will do anything to keep the truth hidden. When Noah Rackham, her high school crush and twin to one of the rapists, comes back into her life, she can't resist the passion that sizzles between them, even knowing the truth will doom their relationship. VERDICT The past impacts the present with devastating but ultimately salutary results in this engrossing, character-rich story that takes a hard look at responsibility, loyalty, and the results of telling (or concealing) the truth. Novak (When Summer Comes) lives in the greater Sacramento, CA, area.
