Shrinking Violet — Jessica Prince

As a child you're taught to forgive those who wrong you.

So what do you do when the one person you can't forgive is yourself?

For Cassidy Ashworth, it's a question that haunts her. She is determined to spend every day trying to make up for her past. But no amount of repenting can convince her that she's worthy of a future with Carson Langford.

Growing up, Carson learned firsthand just how cruel life can be, how easy it is for people to prey on the weak. And there's nothing he detests more than a bully. So focused on his self-appointed role of protector, he never counted on the beautiful blonde with haunted eyes to stumble into his life and shake up his world.

He wants to keep her.
She wants to be kept.

But once the past comes to light Carson must decide if his shrinking violet is worth holding onto, or if her mistakes are too much to forgive.
