Into These Eyes by Darcy Daniel

Convicted by a lie. Redeemed by love.

Gavin Lake
Ever since Jamie Evans swung her piercing eyes my way in the courtroom, I haven’t been able to stop drawing them. I don’t think anyone’s ever looked at me with such utter hatred.
But I never blamed her. She believed a lie. So did the jury.
Convicted of a murder I didn’t commit at the age of nineteen, I’ve spent sixteen years in prison with her loathing eyes haunting my dreams and my sketchbooks.
Now I’m out on parole, hoping that one day I can convince her I’m innocent.
And then maybe, just maybe, I can change the way she looks at me.

Jamie Evans
For half my life, I’ve despised Gavin Lake, the monster who murdered my mother.
Until the day someone else confesses to the crime.
Now Gavin’s out on parole, and it’s up to me to tell the man I’ve hated for sixteen years that I know he’s innocent.
And that I’m the one who’s going to fight to overturn his wrongful conviction.
But I didn’t count on him chipping away at the prison walls I’ve erected around my heart.
And I’m not sure I can stop him … or even if I want to.
