Bitter Fruits of Hate

By Ben Keen

She thought she had found the love of her life.

Jo Gardner is seventeen when Tony Carvell sweeps into her quiet Maine world-a handsome, wealthy young man whose confidence, glamour, and restless spirit seem to promise everything she has ever dreamed of.

But Tony carries a dangerous bitterness of his own.

Drawn into his world of wealth, privilege, rivalry, and hidden loyalties, Jo soon discovers that love can be blinded by passion-and that marriage cannot turn a reckless heart into a faithful one. As Tony's unresolved attachment to another woman and his bitter conflict with Breck threaten to tear everything apart, Jo must confront a painful truth: the person she once adored may not be the person she thought he was.

Yet leaving behind a first love is never simple.

Through betrayal, heartbreak, loss, and remorse, Jo is forced to grow beyond the girl who once believed that passion was enough. And when the past comes crashing back with devastating consequences, she must live with the memories of the choices that changed her life forever.

BITTER FRUITS OF HATE is a sweeping romantic drama about first love, jealousy, betrayal, marriage, and the painful journey from youthful infatuation to hard-won emotional maturity.
