The Dark Side of Mistakes

By C R Peraino

Sobs shaking her shoulders, Karen began to babble. "I'm twenty one, smart, and been told I'm pretty. No matter how I try, all I seem to attract is angry, self centered, abusive men. Nate just got out of jail for assault, and now he's going to kill this guy because I smiled at him."Karen Turner was molested at ten by her father. After he abandons the family, she gets tired of the continual threat of molestation at the hands of her drunken mother's boyfriends and hooks up with a Chicago drug lord. A year of being his sex toy causes Karen to escape to a corner of Wyoming only to end up living with the rebellious son of a prominent lawyer.Todd Johansen rescues her from this latest abuser and brings her to his uncle's ranch. This seemingly simple act unearths long buried issues that threaten the future of Todd and his family. Intrigue, disception, and past mistakes all play a part in opposing compassion, trust, and a desire to improve. Todd seems different from the men in her past. Is he, or will he be like all the others? Should she revert to running away again, or stay and give him a chance?
