Redemption by T. Bell
I’m a screw-up. Proof? On my first day back in town, I accidentally assaulted an officer, who also happens to be my brother’s best friend…and the only man I’ve ever loved.
The thing is, that’s only a blip on my record of mistakes. And believe me, the list is so long it could practically be two—one for all my usual screw-ups and the other for all my mistakes involving Hayes.

Now I’m back, more broken than when I left, and clearly still making bad decisions.
