The Unforgiven — Shauna Allen

As a teenager, I was accused of an unthinkable crime. My girlfriend vanished without a trace, and because of my less than stellar upbringing, the eyes of suspicion fell on me, making me the prime suspect for a crime nobody could prove happened. An overnight pariah, I left that town and its nightmares behind the minute I turned eighteen, carrying the unimaginable weight of my own silent guilt.For more than ten torturous years. Now, with her disappearance solved, I've finally been vindicated, doing nothing to erase a decade's worth of pain and shame. When I'm needed back home to take care of family, however, I'll do what needs to be done-even face down my own demons. What I'm not ready for is Riley.Sweet, perfect, and overcoming her own nightmare, she's resurrecting something in me I'd long since buried . . . my heart. But I'm convinced some things are better left in the grave.My name is Hunter Henderson.I am the Unforgiven.***Reader note: This book is a continuation of the Family Creed saga, and while Claire's mystery has been solved in the previous books and The Unforgiven can technically be read as a standalone, I would HIGHLY recommend for your reading enjoyment that you read the series in order.***Due to profanity, adult subject matter, and very strong sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
