Here’s the set-up for Inglath Cooper’s Truths and Roses, just 99 Cents on Kindle:

First love. Second chances. Secrets with the power to change lives.

When Will Kincaid’s professional football career comes to an abrupt end in a single night, he’s left to figure out what he’s going to do with the rest of his life. He heads home to the small Virginia town where he grew up and crosses paths with Hannah Jacobs, the only girl in high school who had ever rejected him.

It’s Hannah who once made him question the choices he had made, and it’s Hannah who’s making him question them all over again. But with the weight of a secret he’s managed to hide from the world his entire adult life hanging over him, he can’t afford to question his choices.

Hannah Jacobs had once made the choice to deny her feelings for Will Kincaid, at the time finding it the only possible option for a young girl intent on burying a nightmare she only wanted to forget. The life she’s made for herself as a librarian in Lake Perdue is a quiet one, and she’s hardly prepared for the day when Will rams his fancy Ferrari into her dependable old clunker. But for Hannah, Will Kincaid can only stir up memories she had long ago put away forever. And there’s nothing at all good that can come from bringing them back to life again.

From the reviewers:

I really enjoyed this book. I needed an escape and this was the best way to do it! I enjoyed the twists and turns in the story and loved watching the two characters come out of their self imposed shells of protection. Each chapter pulled me deeper into the story and I was rooting these two characters on in hopes that they could have their happy ending!  – “dandysandy”

I loved it!! What a wonderful story of how love can truly withstand any obstacle! Once I started I sure didn’t want to stop reading…and couldn’t wait to start again!!  – “Suz”

This is a story that not only can a lot of people connect to but it’s one you can actually believe in and not just some whimsical fairy tale that we dream of but know can or would never really happen. The author really delivered on this one, it kept me glued to the pages and is filled with the   –  “infla”

I love books! From my earliest memories, I loved being read to and then reading practically every book in my elementary school library. There’s something about taking a little trip into a wonderful story that is its own unique pleasure.

Over the years, my favorite authors have provided me with glimpses into worlds I would never have known had I not picked up their books. From Beverley Cleary to Lavyrle Spencer to Jodi Piccoult to Anita Shreve and so many others, I am grateful they chose to become storytellers.

A great story has the power to move, change and shape its readers. To me, that’s an honorable calling and a task I aspire to.
