The Way It Should Have Been

WHAT'S IN THE PAST IS OVER AND DONE WITH...OR IS IT?

Carly Hargrove knows that her life isn't extraordinarily exciting, but it is just the way she wants it. Three children, a nice house, and a husband who comes home to her every night, even though he does drink a little too much. All of her unhappy memories, all the secrets she wants only to forget, are firmly locked away in her mind. Until the day David Montgomery returns.

It has been sixteen years since she's seen David, her first love, her great love. As for David, back in town for his father's funeral, he needs to see Carly one more time, to free himself forever from thoughts of her and what might have been. What he finds instead is that an unexpected turn of events, and a lingering desire to protect Carly, lead him to become caught up in her life in a way he never could have imagined...a way that will tie him to her forever.
