Salina Graves has just found out the worst about her husband. The man she thought cared for her and helped her to take care of her ailing mother is the man who caused her father’s death and was just using Salina for revenge. Now that she has discovered this, she confronts Lymond but he waves her off and commands her as he always has. All she really wants is to get her father’s diary back from Lymond. She plans to question Lymond more about the diary but never gets a chance to since he is injured in a mine accident that day.

As Lymond lays in the hospital, his son, Paul Titus Graves, who prefers to be called “Mick” comes to town to see about his dad. Mick left town many years ago and is not in his dad’s good graces because of decisions he has made, but Mick has to see his father.

While staying in the house with Salina, Mick starts to develop feelings for her. Salina is also developing feelings for Mick. As they deal with their deepening feelings, they must also contend with Lymond, and other things they begin to learn about their pasts.

This story is definitely romantic suspense. I could never tell exactly what would happen next, so I could not put it down. The main characters of Salina and Mick are very likeable and well developed. You constantly learn new things about their characters throughout the book. The setting was great, and even though I know very little about the coal mining towns of eastern Kentucky, I felt like I was right there in the middle of the town and understood the area and the people. Things are wrapped up rather quickly towards the end, which was a slight disappointment, but overall this book is a wonderful read and I wouldn’t hesitate to read it again. This book is full of surprises and a great love story too.
