Barbados and Jamaica 1648. The lush and deadly Caribbean paradise, domain of rebels and slaveholders, of bawds and buccaneers. Colonists fight a wishful war for freedom against England.
The scars that I have will never let me forget my past. They stand, an ugly reminder of that perfect summer evening that went so horribly wrong. The night that I killed a perfect stranger and my boyfriend, all because of one stupid mistake.
Redemption doesn't seem like an option to young high school graduate Liana Williams. In fact, the only way out seems to be suicide after that evening. Though some may call it fate, and others may call it chance, the very special man she meets at a college that she doesn't care about may change her life. Felix is unlike any guy she's ever met; he's charming, high spirited, and jovial. As little as she wants to admit it, she's fallen for him. But one thing that she doesn't know is that he holds the second chance that will save her life. Yet one question still stands - what will it take to get past the scars and forgive herself?
