The story continues with beautiful and wealthy Tara Lattimore, as her sinful past threatens to derail her current marriage and her sanity.

Tara thought she had finally found stability when she married the handsome Dr. Cavin Lattimore.

For years, she has endured the sins of others, and even committed a few of her own. Now, she wonders if the misdeeds of her past are about to catch up with her, and if she can ever outrun them.

This gripping narrative explores the complexities of relationships, the weight of past transgressions, and the challenge of finding peace in the face of a turbulent present.
