Beneath the Willow Tree - Paperback

by Emma Rodriguez (Author)

Amelia Bray has a secret. After her father's brutal murder during her senior year of high school, she swore she'd move on and learn to live without him. But how can anyone expect her to recover from the death of the person who loved her more than he loved life itself? How can she live her life knowing that she knows nothing? Unfortunately, conducting an investigation alone and in grief is all but impossible... and that's where he came in.

Mason Hale is everything Amelia shouldn't want. He's cocky and unperturbed, can read her like a book even when her walls are built as high as possible, and knows all the ways to push her buttons. Not to mention, he's the son of the man Amelia knows is responsible for the hit that got her father killed. But despite all her reservations, she can't deny that two sets of eyes are better than one... and Mason's eyes are hard to deny. As their partnership progresses, Amelia and Mason can't deny their chemistry, though their traumas and fears may be the very thing that makes it impossible for them to be anything more than peers.

Through multiple timelines and dual perspectives, Amelia and Mason must face the ugly truths of life, loss, and love while asking themselves the age-old question: Is vengeance worth it if you risk everything you love?
