As their relationship starts to grow, the manipulative Coach Nick Nelson, trying to protect his secretive past, steps in to ruin both of them.

She is falling apart after finding out about her husbands death. This book goes back and forth and gives you the back history of Denise and Darren's love story. It show's you how they loved their family, raised their children and helped their neighbors.
