Y’all. Read this blurb. What world am I living in? 😳😡

Twenty years after her brother, Ezra, is killed by the Ku Klux Klan, Embry Parker returns to her hometown in Mississippi to honor her father’s dying wish to sell their family home and sever ties with the South once and for all. However, after Embry arrives back in the small town of Stone Haven and meets the mysteriously sexy, Jacob Asbury who exudes more confidence in his dimpled smile than she has ever felt in her entire life, her motivation for being in Mississippi quickly changes.

Being with a white man—a Southern white man at that would have Embry’s father rolling over in his grave . . . would go against everything she has ever been taught, but there is something about Jacob’s crystalline gaze, about the way he seems to stare into her soul that makes even the worst betrayal seem worth it.

Unfortunately, for Embry and Jacob, love has bounds in a world obsessed with color, and pushing those limits, crossing those lines already etched so deeply by society could only mean trouble.
𝗔 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.
If Embry and Jacob think to do the unthinkable, the horror of twenty years ago is only a prelude for what is to come.
