Hope by Peggy McKenzie

Hope Anderson has been in love with Creede’s bad boy since the first moment she laid eyes on him. And now, he’s given her every indication he’s going to propose. So what’s the problem? He confessed in front of the whole town that he cheated with his best friend’s wife and that he’s the reason she and her newborn son are dead. Hope loves Billy in spite of his obvious flaws, but can she ever trust him to be her devoted husband or forgive him for betraying his friend?
Billy Buchanan knows what most people think about him. He can see it in their faces. And yet, he would do everything all over again if he could keep his best friend from knowing the ugly truth about what really happened that day. But now the only other person who knows the truth is back in town and itching to cause trouble. Can Billy win Hope’s love and keep his secret, or will he have to choose between his best friend’s happiness and his own?
