Everyone has baggage by the time theyÍre into their thirties. When single mom and Marietta High School teacher Gemma Clayton acquires a strong, family-oriented and very good-looking new neighbor over her back fence, sheÍs not put off by his complicated past as the attraction flares between them. Her own past is a very different matter, however. Nobody knows what she went through on the night of the 1996 Marietta High School senior prom, between running after Judd and Garth NewellÍs car as it left River Bend Park and limping into her friend Neve ShepherdÍs street two hours later. But GemmaÍs secrets have been rusted up inside her for so long that not even a gorgeous man like Dylan Saddler can help her to break them free.
