Woods had his perfect life mapped out for him. Rise up the ranks of the family business. Marry the rich girl of his parents' dreams. Pretend that wealth and privilege was all he'd ever wanted. Then a girl named Della breezed into town, a beautifully imperfect stranger who captured his heart and opened his eyes to a new kind of future. Woods is ready and willing to sacrifice everything for her when the sudden death of his father leaves him with his mother to care for and a business to manage.
Della is determined to be strong for Woods, even as she's quietly falling to pieces. No matter how far from home she's run, the ghosts of her past have never stopped haunting her. Struggling to hide her true feelings from Woods, Della fears she can't be his rock without dragging him down into the darkness with her. But is she strong enough to let go of the last thing holding her together?
It'a always fun to catch up with Rosemary Beach crew. This one focused on Della and Woods, which is one of a very co-dependent nature, until Della leaves Woods, and starts working on herself. I really liked the way this Rosemary Beach family is emerging. I totally buy the connections and the devotion they have for each other. I warn you, this is marked by a tragedy, which broke my heart.
