Here's the set-up:
Ten years had passed since they had joined hands in the ruins
of the old abbey church. Standing before the high altar, they were
handfasted in the Celtic custom, engaged to be married.
A rose bush had bloomed beside the ruined altar. Stephen had reached
out to caress one of the flowers. "I'll find you," he had said. "In ten
years, when we have finished school, when we are able to marry, I'll
find you. Until then, whenever you see a yellow rose, remember me.
Remember I love you."
In those ten
years, Katherine had finished college, completed med school, and become a
doctor. For a decade, she had been waiting, hoping, praying, and, today
─ her birthday─ she finds a vase of yellow roses when she reaches home.
Stephen,
though, is not Katherine's only suitor. Bill Wilson has known her since
they were in high school. He has long planned to wed her, and he
finally decides to stake his claim. His methods leave a lot to be
desired, the conflict turns nasty, and Katherine must choose the future
that she wants.
One Reviewer Notes:
Truly romantic and exciting, like true love should be. But with drama thrown in that will be like a knife in the heart. Honestly I just cannot praise this book enough. It's one I would sit and read again and again and again. Beautiful. I just LOVED this book.

Here’s the set-up:
I-35 is the critically acclaimed story of David, a loner in his late 20s from New York City who suffers from blackout migraines and has a penchant for painkillers. He wakes one morning, freezing in the backseat of his car, 1,500 miles from home, with no idea how he got there. After hearing a horrifying voicemail, he embarks on a harrowing journey through America’s heartland, searching for his estranged brother and his brother’s wife, while attempting to piece together his own fractured memory. Along the road, David meets a cast of strange and disturbing characters who become suspects in his clouded and paranoid mind. And just as the clues and corpses begin to add up; a chance encounter at a seedy Oklahoma diner leads him to Shawna–a beautiful girl, shrouded in mystery, who escorts him down a vertiginous path to the end of the I-35 highway…where a shocking truth is revealed.
