From New York Times bestselling author Mary B. Morrison comes a moving, unforgettable story of lives at a crossroads, love lost and found, and the price of secrets...

After her high school sweetheart proposed and joined the military, Mona Lisa Ellington thought she'd never feel love again. So she settled, making a new life for herself with a man who cherished her...and made his living hurting others. Despite her reality, she prayed her fiancé would one day return.

Before becoming a television reporter, Katherine Clinton knew she'd marry her high school sweetheart and live happily ever after. But when he left for the military, she had to make new plans for her and their son. Despite his long absence, Katherine dreamed of the day her fiancé would return and make her family complete.

William Lincoln joined the military to make his grandfather proud. He never imagined he would be gone so long, or that the fiancées he left behind would reignite emotions he thought he'd never feel again. But his selfish proposal to two women is the least of his problems, because all three will face the consequences of too much deception....

Instead of attending college and trying to go pro, William is forced is forced to join the military. Before he leaves for Iraq, he proposes to both Mona Lisa and Katherine. Years later, Mona Lisa is married to a murderous, abusive, and greedy bounty hunter and high school friend, Steven Cunningham, who spends lavishly to attract her attention. After one particularly gruesome experience, Mona Lisa decides to leave Steven, only to discover that he has become dangerously obsessed with her. When both Katherine and Mona Lisa find out that William is alive (and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder), trouble ensues, with deadly consequences for almost everyone.
