Wonderful Story

This book was extremely well written Diamond is a woman with a past and its a past a lot of us can relate to loving them and leaving them ...but just like a lot of the things we do in life it comes back to remind her how she was and what she did who knew it was such a small world and all these scorned lovers would come around at once...............this book was layed out perfectly with each couple and indidvidual person having their own story and problem to deal with ......but it was woven together beautifully.............Jake was a wonderful man with a past of his own but he loves Diamond and he is determied not to let the past destroy them ..........there is no need to recap the story here it has to be read to be felt ....but this is one book I would love to see on the screen with all the characters and plots going on .......................WONDERFUL WORK!!!!!
