Published in 2013

Book Four of the This Series

After devastating betrayals threaten their future, Gabby and Bradley must learn that forgiveness, trust, and love are choices worth fighting for.

About the Book

Everyone has a past…good or bad, they are always there. They lurk and linger in the shadows, sometimes reappearing at the most inconvenient times.

Gabby and Bradley thought that their pasts would remain dormant, that happiness was theirs for the taking. Still the strongest of relationships can be rocked by the ugliness from a previous life, even if it seems to be a world away. The fact remains an ugly past is never distant. It taints everything it touches, drives permanent rifts between loved ones, and sometimes can ruin everything. Gabby and Bradley must find the only way to battle the past. Forgiveness becomes a light through the darkness, a guide for the lost, and hope for the hopeless. With forgiveness comes bright, new beginnings.

Reader Reviews

JB McGee is getting better and better with each book she writes!!! :) Just love her!!!

This is a great series and I truly was moved to tears in a few different scenes in this particular book, which is not easily accomplished!!

—Beth Chavis, Goodreads

I loved the book tremendously, loved how it wasn't easy for the couple to get to where they wanted and loved how you sometimes have to forgive the past to move forward in the future.
