One Summer
by Karen Robards

This novel begins when Johnny Harris returns to his small, less-than-welcoming Kentucky hometown after serving time for a murder he didn't commit. Among the cruel whisperings behind his back, one voice speaks to him without hostility - that of his former schoolteacher Rachel Grant, the sole believe in his innocence.

As their friendship grows into a passionate affair, murmurings of a scandal grow strong. But the new lovers can endure the town's cold treatment as long as they fact it together. Then a horrible crime takes place and all fingers ponit to the ex-con. With the town's hatred building to a dangerous level, Johnny and Rachel soon realize the murderer is closing in on them - for reasons as shocking as the first horrible crime committed so many years before.

Hardbound in excellent condition.
