It had haunted me all my life. Maybe even formed who I was. I'll never know, because I can never undo what happened and see the person I might have been...

Aimee Parker is trapped in a loveless marriage to a man who makes her feel worthless. Isolated after quitting her job to care for her dying mother, she finds solace in the music - and the voice - of Rob Stone, a singer-songwriter who lives clear across the country.

After they meet at a party, Aimee and Rob begin an intense long-distance friendship that fills her heart with hope and joy - even though Rob is also married, and seemingly not unhappily so. Her husband, Steve, may be materially generous, but he's emotionally bankrupt. Rob appears to be everything Steve is not - and everything Aimee thinks she needs.

Then Rob reveals he's a fledgling sex therapist, a healer who uses his hands to awaken women's sexual energy - and Aimee is thrown. Her buried past makes it impossible to fully trust him. Yet despite her fears, she flies across the country to be with him and meet his family. The week they spend together is blissful, confusing, and impossible to forget.

But when Aimee returns home, her carefully held-together world begins to unravel - and the memories she's spent a lifetime running from refuse to stay buried any longer.

Was Rob a healer, or a manipulator all along? Is Aimee better off without him? Without Steve? And without the wounded version of herself she has carried for so long...?

A raw, emotionally gripping novel of betrayal, longing, and the courage to face what you've buried - for readers who love domestic drama that doesn't pull its punches.
