July 23, 2013
Charisse Wellman’s husband has been gone a year, and she’s about to lose the only home her son, V.J., has ever known. She’s quit law school but the money just isn’t there. Her only option is to work as a law clerk for her ex-friend, Gideon Tabor. The only problem: Gideon is the judge who let her husband’s killer go free, and Gideon doesn’t know the connection.
Gideon Tabor can’t believe that the woman interviewing for the job is the girl he loved in high school. Charisse is hesitant about accepting his job offer, and when she does, Gideon makes every attempt to apologize for his relationship-ending blunder in high school. Charisse accepts his apology, but she keeps him at a distance.
When Gideon learns that Charisse’s anger actually stems from his release of the man who ran down her husband, he tries to explain, but Charisse doesn’t want Gideon’s excuses or the love he has to offer. She wants her husband’s killer to pay.
My thoughts: this is a slow romance between two former friends that had some animosity between them. I thought it first it was women's fiction, but it's Southern fiction, romance, but there is zero sexual tension between the characters. You can tell the author put a lot of thought into the names of the characters. They all mean something and I think you'll figure it out. If you like slow quiet romance, you will love this book. The second chance at love. I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
