CAN THE BEST WAY TO KEEP A SECRET... Jolie Carter carries secrets from a past she doesn't want revealed. Her friends know nothing of that time or why she moved to town, and she wants to keep it that way. But Nathan Quinn is on to her and while his interest is flattering, she pushes him away out of deep-seated fear. What would he think of her if he knew the truth? Sometimes she isn't sure God has forgiven her because she certainly hasn't been able to forgive herself. BE TO SET IT FREE? Nathan Quinn is battle-scarred and tough as nails. Maybe that's why he sees through Jolie's lies and attempts to evade questions. He's been there, and he recognizes the look in her eyes. The pain of whatever she's hiding is eating her up inside and he can no longer ignore it. But after he learns the truth, Quinn must fight the biggest battle of his life if he hopes to win the woman he loves. Forgiveness is never easy, but forgiving oneself is sometimes the hardest of all... The Stone River series continues with THROUGH THE VALLEY.
