The Secrets Behind Us by Nichole Ruschelle

Dexter
I convinced myself it was over.
Now she’s back home and I’m not prepared when I see her.
It’s time for her to pay for her sins against me.
I want her to grovel.
I want her to know what it feels like to be left behind.
But when I find out the reason she left in the first place, everything changes. .

Hazel
I knew this day would come, I just hoped for more time.
My mother is sick and my family needs me. I can’t keep running.
It’s time I pay for my consequences from all those years ago.
When I come face to face with Dexter, he’s determined to make me pay for leaving him.
But when all of my secrets come to light, will he be able to forgive me?

This is the second half of Dexter and Hazel’s story, and it ends in HEA.
