Unity Ten years of penance for a crime I didn't commit. I confessed, hoping to spare them from the searing pain of the truth. A secret only I am left to carry. Now my father wants me to leave the life I've built behind and come home. He wants me to run his brand-new ER. The same ER Carter works in. Going home will destroy me. I barely made it out the first time I left. But this decision isn't just about me. There are others to consider. My punishment is just beginning. Carter Unity's always lived in my periphery, like a shadow, but after ten years she's back. And she didn't come alone. She was my forever until she destroyed both of our families and broke my heart. I can't stop her from coming home. I can't control how she charms the entire town into dismissing the monster that lives under her sun-kissed skin. But I won't forget. And neither will our ghosts. Unity Bliss destroyed my life. Her punishment has just begun.
