A Winter’s Secret by Kate Philips

You are what your past made you, but your future doesn’t have to be defined by it.

I hated the world, and the world hated me, but that was the way I liked it.
Until Tristan Crutchens barged his way into my life.
With his constant smug grin and infectious happiness, he uncovered secrets I’d kept buried deep inside and made me confront them.

Slowly, I started seeing the world in a different light, and I opened my heart to him. But would love be enough to change the haunting future that awaited me, or was I destined to spend the rest of eternity plagued by the chains of my sins?
