Gabriel Myers is a convicted criminal, serving life in prison for his father’s murder. Facing a hopeless future and haunted by a past that has left him full of contempt for God and the church, he wants nothing to do with Mia until she proves she can understand the man everyone believes is a monster.

With each letter that's exchanged, Mia becomes more aware that although Gabriel has never has never denied his crime, there is more to the story than the jury was allowed to hear. As reluctant friendship turns to seemingly ill-fated love, she knows she must convince him to appeal the verdict.

Winning his freedom will give them a chance at happiness but can they finally find bliss in each other's arms or will the challenges they face and their divergent beliefs destroy their love for good?

 

 

Excerpt

Everything inside of her slid sideways at the sound of his voice. The images she’d had of him in her mind, the ones she’d carried since she’d looked up his trial, shattered. He’d been a kid, long and lanky and awkward, younger than her and fragile for all the brutality of his crime. That was how she’d pictured him in her mind when she wrote to him, when she read his letters, when she thought of him and how he spent his days.

 

This… this was not the voice of a child, and the deep, rumbling timbre of her name on his lips shook her to her core. She hadn’t paid much attention when he’d mentioned his birthday and said he’d turned twenty-eight, but now it was painfully obvious that he was a grown man nearing thirty.
