Through the Flames - Shelby Gunter

Lilly

It was only supposed to be a quick trip to my hometown: find out why the police needed to interview me and get back to my daughter.

Enter Noah James. My high school sweetheart and the man who shattered every dream I had with his refusal to acknowledge our baby girl. He had me fooled with his sexy smile and smooth charm. I swore I'd never let myself be fooled again.

But, one night of grief at Donna's Bar led to my world crumbling at my feet. It only took a couple of hours to realize the things I thought I knew were false. The people I trusted most had been keeping too many secrets to count.

And those secrets might prove to be fatal.

I tried everything to stop loving Lilly Gallagher.

She was my best friend, the love of my life, and the one I thought I'd spend forever with.

When she left town without saying goodbye, I thought I'd never recover. But I managed to move forward and build a decent life in our hometown.

At least, I thought it was, until she returned, destroying the illusion of happiness I'd created.

And with her arrival came a truth too hard to comprehend. I had a daughter I knew nothing about.

Lies taken to the grave have a way of coming back around. Little did I know, the truth would put everyone I love in danger.
