Okay, let's set the scene. Imagine you’re seventeen. You're in a courtroom, and you have to watch as your father is sentenced to life in prison. For murdering three people. People you knew. Yeah. Your life is over before it even started.
That’s Lucy Sinclair’s story. For fifteen long years, she has stayed away. But now, she's finally going back. Back to her small Virginia hometown to face him, to ask the questions that have haunted her forever. She needs to know if there's more to the story, if the man she called Dad wasn't the monster everyone believes him to be.
And guess who else just rolled back into town? Ford Wagner, her old flame, is escaping a marriage that's crumbling around him. At first, he's wary. He doesn't want to dredge up the past, especially the part about their mutual friend who was one of the victims. But he can't stay away from Lucy. The more time they spend together, the closer they get, and the more he starts to question everything he thought he knew about that horrible summer.
But here’s the thing about small coastal towns... they have long memories and deep secrets. As Lucy and Ford start digging, they quickly realize that a lot of powerful people would prefer the past stay buried. Permanently.
She returned to clear her father’s name, but in a town this determined to keep its secrets, there’s no telling what horrifying truths she’ll uncover instead.
