How do you stop being angry at someone when theyâre gone?
Kira Shepherd Blairâs older sister Neve died eighteen years ago at River Bend Park, on the night of the 1996 Marietta High School senior prom, and Kira is still mired in feelings she canât resolve. So much of her life has been shadowed by Neve, from the adolescence she spent banished from the family spotlight because Neve was so greedy for it, to the bad marriage she made at twenty-one because she and her parents needed the security and the promise of a future, after Neveâs tragic death.
Kira is working to make a good life for herself and her ten-year-old son Jake after her divorce and is finally starting to feel that sheâs getting on track, when Neveâs high school boyfriend Casey âJayâ Brown comes back to Marietta and turns everything upside down. Casey has never known in his heart how much he was to blame for what happened to Neve that night, but when he and Kira are forced to work together at the renowned Haraldsen Architectural Foundation in the foothills of the Absaroka Mountains, she leaves him in no doubt as to her opinion on the issue.
Thatâs how you stop being angry at someone when theyâre gone. You channel your anger onto the man you hold responsible, the man whoâs right here, no matter how heart-stoppingly gorgeous he is.
