After reading and loving Worthy, I was so excited to see more of Laura's work... She didn't disappoint! This story was superb. Sweet, oh so touching, and pure innocent love, well at least in the beginning... Then not so innocent- was down and dirty, hot! The pain you feel for Cassidy and her trials in life is overwhelming. The epilogue had me in tears- very sweet, and a testament if true love!
