The Darkest Version by Eve Blakely

OVERVIEW

The things that haunt us can’t be ignored forever. Not without a price.

Cayden Hartley regrets the day he became the villain of his own life. When tragedy struck, leading him down a destructive path, he never could have predicted that a single act of revenge would cost him everything.

Now, returning to Cliff Haven to care for his injured mother, he must face the small town that still remembers his mistakes and the darkness that threatens to pull him under.

Single mother, Harper Conway, has learnt the hard way that appearances can be deceiving. She has no reason to trust the man with the haunted eyes who wanders into the café where she works, but while the town whispers their judgements, she sees a man determined to find redemption.

While Cayden fights to rebuild his life from the ashes, old demons resurface, threatening to tear it down. And as Harper stands by him, torn between her growing feelings and the need to protect her son, she learns that there might be more to Cayden’s story than the gossip that’s tainted his name.

As a menacing storm descends over Cliff Haven, old secrets are brought to light and Cayden will have to decide whether he’s ready to overcome the shadows of his past or remain trapped by the mistakes that have defined him.
