Title: Forgiving Patience
Author: Jennifer Simpkins
Heroine: Anna Kelly
Anna
Kelly’s innocence was taken from her at just six years old. Not only was she
sexually abused by someone who was supposed to protect her, but she had to live
with that person for many years and keep the abuse a secret from her mother.
Eventually, she broke her silence, but too much emotional damage was done. As
she got older, she felt like she would never know what it would feel like to be
wrapped in a man’s arms before making love and not want to cringe. At eighteen
she felt her only hope was to flee town and make a fresh start somewhere new.
But eleven years later, when friendship calls, she returns to her hometown and
all the painful memories from her childhood. Showing more strength than she
would ever give herself credit for having, she explores a sexual relationship
with her high school love.
If
you were to ask her, Anna would first blush, and then laugh at being called
sexy. Trying to draw attention from a man has never been something she’s set
out on doing. But intentional or not, she does cause heads to turn. Her
strength to overcome such terrible circumstances is just one of the things that
make her undeniably sexy.
Blurb:
Anna Kelly had no intention of returning to
her hometown of Patience, Tennessee. At eighteen, feeling powerless from an
abusive childhood and heartbroken from her high school sweetheart, she needed
to put distance between her and the small town. Now, eleven years later she's
invited to her best friend's wedding and has no other choice but to return.
Though she feels much stronger the second time around, nothing can prepare her
for when she sees her ex again. After a baseball injury, Jake limped back into Patience, damaged and angry. Throwing himself into remodeling Anna's childhood home has given him purpose again. He is just getting his life back together. He can't risk sending it all back to hell again, but the woman who broke his heart has whipped back into town...and she wants her house back. In hopes of reminding Anna of what she ran away from all those years ago he makes her an offer she can’t refuse—three dates, that have Anna rethinking Patience...and the life she was supposed to have with Jake.
