Bailey Trent is going home after six years away, her mother needs her especially now that Bailey's father is dead. But that's not the main reason Bailey is going home. Darren Cory is, but 6 years ago Bailey was the cause of heartbreak, not just for Darren but to his whole family.Bailey didn't expect a welcoming committee with banners and a brass band, but what she didn't expect was to find that Darren had not moved on one iota from the night of the tradegy six years ago. In fact Darren made it his top priority to mess with Bailey at every given opportunity. Emotional cruelty became his speciality where Bailey was concerned. Baily tolerated it due to her own guilt. On the other hand Darren couldn't seem to stay away from Bailey. It was almost as if he needed her close by, she soothed him as much as she made him hate her. Everybody has their breaking point it was just a matter of time before Bailey reached hers.This is an emotional read from this author, it's obvious she put a lot into this story. Darren Cory was a complex and conflicted character, some might say he was immature. Even before the incident that happened six years ago, he would regularly taunt Bailey, I didn't think I was going to like him, he seemed like the kind of person who made others pay for his own thoughts and behaviour. The author was really going to have to work hard to redeem him IMO. I'm still a bit undecided on that. Bailey made a mistake that altered her life and of those around her. But she wasn't a total doormat where Darren was concerned thank goodness.I really liked Bailey's friend Michelle she was quite the star for me. As was Bailey's mother. There are sex scenes in this, and yes they are hot, although once or twice they felt a bit awkward, Bailey wanted Darren, but she wasn't quite sure of his motives.But this is a story that stays with you.
