Veda Vandyke returned to Shadow Rock Island with one goal: exact revenge on the ten monsters who'd attacked her at age eighteen. When she's blessed with a second chance at motherhood, however, Veda refuses to let her miracle number-two meet the same tragic fate as the first, even if it means abandoning her vengeful quest forever. But when the island is rocked by the largest trafficking bust in history-with her unborn child's father serving as the only witness-it becomes clear to Veda that it doesn't matter how eager she is to leave her torrid past behind, because her past isn't nearly as anxious to finally be rid of her. Even as she withdraws, her darkness simply gloms onto everyone around her, promising to continue its wicked reign of destruction until it's taken out everything she loves. Can she find a way to quit the darkness that appears to have no plans on quitting her? Or will pure, unadulterated happiness always be just a fairytale for a broken girl like Veda Gabriella Vandyke? - ROUSE is an interracial novel.
