Caleb’s life was destroyed the night that his fiancée was killed in a car accident 5 years ago.  Caleb and Manda had been together for 3 years and had been engaged for 6 months.  They constantly fought as to when they would get married, with Manda being content to never marry.  The night of the accident was another instance of Caleb wanting a definitive answer and Manda wanting to talk about it when she got home…she never made it home.  The night of the accident still leaves Caleb wanting answers as to the cause and why there are disputes as to who was driving the car?  Was it Manda?  Or was it Sarah, her best friend?  Sarah and her husband, Brett, had their story featured in “Changing Course,” but now it’s time to hear from Caleb.Caleb feels a lot of hate towards Sarah.  In fact, I don’t think hate is a strong enough word for what he feels.  Her name is like venom flowing through his veins.  Just the mere mention of her name reminds him of what he’s lost."Stolen Course” picks up where “Changing Course” ended.  Sarah is hospitalized for mental evaluation following her little stunt she pulled with Brett.  Sarah has a younger sister, Emma, who moved away a few years ago after realizing that she couldn’t watch Sarah self destruct anymore.  Emma will be returning to make certain that she is available to Sarah and wants to help Sarah find her way out of the darkness that has enveloped her for the past 5 years.Caleb has taken it upon himself to give status reports concerning Sarah’s medical stay to Emma, as Emma has gone back home to pack up her things.  With their nightly calls Caleb and Emma have developed an easy flirtatious friendship and both of them are looking forward to when Emma moves back and they can see where this new-found friendship will take them.  One thing remains the same though – Caleb’s intense hatred for Emma’s sister.Quote: “Sarah, I’m going to destroy you the same way you did me, even if it’s the last thing I do in this life.”How can one even begin to start a relationship when there is such pain evolving around Sarah when the reason Emma returned is for Sarah?  Their relationship is doomed before it even had a chance to begin.  Can they call a truce when it comes to Sarah?Caleb is determined to put Sarah behind bars for her actions that night.  He has a box of evidence including photos that he studies relentlessly trying to find the one clue that will put the case to rest.  Caleb cannot let go until he finds his answer.  Will his determination to find answers be the final roadblock that pushes Emma away from him?Quote:  “Love me more than you hate her.  Please.”Caleb is a tough man inside and out.  He has a difficult time conveying his thoughts without sounding like a complete jerk, but yet my eyes held many tears for this man who had so much pain and hate holding him back from letting go and moving forward.  Caleb can fight dirty with his words, but yet he can make you forgive him in the next breath.  The author threw in a few surprises for the reader and oh what enjoyable angst it filled me with.
