Prologue

T
he
son
Dare
Westmoreland
didn’t
know
he
had,
needed
him.

Shelly
Brockman
knew
that
admission
was
long
overdue
as
she
stood
in
the
living
room
of
the
house
that
had
been
her
childhood
home.
The
last
box
had
been
carried
in
and
now
the
task
of
unpacking
awaited
her.
Even
with
everything
she
faced,
she
felt
good
about
being
back
in
a
place
that
filled
her
with
many
fond
memories.
Her
thoughts
were
cut
short
with
the
slamming
of
the
front
door.
She
turned
and
met
her
son’s
angry
expression.

“I’m
going
to
hate
it
here!”
He
all
but
screamed
at
the
top
of
his
lungs.
“I
want
to
go
back
to
Los
Angeles!
No
matter

what
you
say,
this
will
never
be
my
home!”

Shelly
winced
at
his
words
and
watched
as
he
threw
down
the
last
bag
filled
with
his
belongings
before
racing
up
the
stairs.
Instead
of
calling
after
him,
she
closed
her
eyes,

remembering
why
she
had
made
the
move
from
California
to
Georgia,
and
knew
that
no
matter
how
AJ
felt,
the
move
was
the
best
thing
for
him.
For
the
past
year
he
had
been
failing
in
school
and
hanging
out
with
the
wrong
crowd.

Because
of
his
height,
he
looked
older
than
a
ten-year-old
and
had
begun
associating
with
an
older
group
of
boys
at
school,
those
known
to
be
troublemakers.

Her
parents,
who
had
retired
and
moved
to
Florida
years

ago,
had
offered
her
the
use
of
her
childhood
home
rent-

free.
As
a
result,
she
had
made
three
of
the
hardest

decisions
of
her
life.
First,
deciding
to
move
back
to

College
Park,
Georgia,
second
switching
from
being
a

nurse
who
worked
inside
the
hospital
to
a
home
healthcare
nurse,
and
finally
letting
Dare
Westmoreland
know
he
had
a
son.

More
than
anything
she
hoped
Dare
would
understand
that
she
had
loved
him
too
much
to
stand
between
him
and
his
dream
of
becoming
an
FBI
agent
all
those
years
ago.
Her
decision,
unselfish
as
it
had
been,
had
cost
AJ
the
chance
to
know
his
father
and
Dare
the
chance
to
know
his
son.

Crossing
the
room
she
picked
up
AJ’s
bag.
He
was
upset
about
leaving
his
friends
and
moving
to
a
place
he

considered
Hicksville,
USA.
However,
his
attitude
was
the
least
of
her
worries.

She
sighed
deeply
and
rubbed
her
forehead,
knowing
she
couldn’t
put
off
telling
Dare
much
longer
since
chances

were
he
would
hear
she’d
return
to
town.
Besides,
if
he

took
a
good
hard
look
at
AJ,
he
would
know
the
truth,
and
the
secret
she
had
harbored
for
ten
years
would
finally
be
out.

Deep
within
her
heart
she
knew
that
it
was
time.
