Description
Karen Robards has enraptured readers and earned a place not only on their bookshelves but in their hearts with her many romantic novels, including Nobody’s Angel and This Side of Heaven, a New York Times best seller. Her arresting new novel, One Summer, begins when Johnny Harris returns to his small, less-than-welcoming Kentucky hometown after serving time for a murder he didn’t commit. Among the cruel whisperings behind his back, one voice speaks to him without hostility-that of his former schoolteacher Rachel Grant, the sole believer in his innocence.
As their friendship grows into a passionate affair, murmurings of a scandal grow strong. But the new lovers can endure the town’s cold treatment as long as they face it together. Then a horrible crime takes place and all fingers pointing to the ex-con. With the town’s hatred building to a dangerous level, Johnny and Rachel soon realize the murderer is closing in on them-for reasons as shocking as the first horrible crime committed so many years before.
In the best-selling tradition of Sandra Brown and Judith McNaught, Karen Robards brings us a stunning novel that resonates with passion, romance, and sheer storytelling power. One Summer brilliantly captures the subtle crosscurrents of small-town southern life in a powerful tale of unyielding love, murder, and injustice…and of a man and a woman whose lives are forever changed in the scorching heat of one unforgettable summer.
Karen Robards is the author of more than sixteen historical and contemporary romances, including the New York Times best seller This Side of Heaven, and Nobody’s Angel. She lives in Louisville, Kentucky.
