Description: Kaitlyn Emberland was brutally raped five years ago. She almost died, and her assailant leftKaitlyn Emberland was brutally raped five years ago. She almost died, and her assailant left behind forty-two scars to remind her of their "encounter." She will never trust a man again. She will never love again. The mere thought of a man's touch makes her skin crawl—until she meets Marc Campbell. He is different. He is kind, gentle, understanding, and he loves her. He is willing to do whatever it takes to convince Kaitlyn that she can put the rape behind her and live and love again.
