From Amazon Bestselling Author, Ashley Munoz comes an angsty- standalone-small town romance.

He was a liar.

I was a coward.

At age fourteen the boy who wrote me secret notes stole my heart.

The cunning thief that he was, he had convinced me we were soul mates.

Or so I thought.

At eighteen he shattered my heart.

I didn't know that kind of pain existed and I didn't stick around for anyone to witness it.

Five years after running away, I’m returning home as a married woman.

Nothing much has changed, including the fact that the boy I once loved, is still here.

Only now he’s a man who owns a mechanic shop and shows up everywhere I don’t want him to.

He won’t stop saying the rudest things imaginable.

Every barb tears through me, like a whip, and in turn, I say the most horrible things right back.

I hate it.

I hate him.

All I want is to lay low and lick my wounds in private.

But in small-town Tennessee, there isn't much that stays private.

Including the lie, he's clung to and the secret I'm hiding.

This book is a complete standalone, while it is angsty, there is no cheating.
