They came for her reputation. He's coming for them.

They called it a psychotic break.
I called it the worst thing I've ever survived.
Now I'm medicated. Stable. Paying for what I did one day at a time.
My brothers gave me a second chance I'll spend the rest of my life trying to deserve. So, when I needed space to breathe, I rented a place an hour outside Tallahassee-close enough to ride home when they call, far enough to remember who I am when no one's watching.
That's where I met her.
Sophie Crockett.
The deacon's daughter with calluses on her fingertips and shadows under her eyes. The schoolteacher the whole town's decided is a sinner. The woman whose sister has the same illness that nearly destroyed me-and who looks at my hands like she's already seen worse.
Someone's destroying her life on purpose, one whisper at a time.
She thinks she just has to wait it out. Keep her head down. Pray hard enough.
I know better.
Because the person tearing her apart?
They don't know what kind of monster just moved into town.
