Obsession with his sister's best friend had followed him for as long as he could remember, and she knew every secret except that he was in love with her.
Instead of speaking up, he watched his cousin sweep her off her feet, marry her, and build the life he had been too afraid to fight for.
Catching his cousin cheating on that pregnant wife led to a fight, his cousin's death, and years behind bars.
He refused her visits and ignored her letters through all ten of those years.
Newly back in their hometown, he means to repair what he broke and show her he is the right man.
Someone in this small town has not forgotten the night his cousin died and intends to see him meet the same end.
