You murder a man, and all of a sudden people are scared of
you.

Slate Solis went from being a guy that people went to in
times of need to an ex-con that people crossed the street to avoid being too
close to.

He knows he’s done wrong, but out of all of his sins, only
one really bothers him—coveting thy neighbor’s wife.

One that he shouldn’t take

MY REVIEW:
Another home run from Lani Lynn Vale.
This is the story of Slate and Harleigh.
After just being released from prison, Slate went from Hero to Zero, with people now afraid of him. He realizes what he has done in the past and where he wants his future to go.
Harleigh was a random blip on his radar and Slate imagined he would never see her. That is until he sees her again, so close and finds it hard to stay away.
