Dark Places In the Heart
by Jill Barnett
New York Times bestselling author Jill Barnett sweeps readers away to the sultry California coast in a profoundly moving story about the power of forgiveness. One fateful night changes the lives and fortunes of three innocent women — Kathryn, Laurel, and Julia Peyton. But destiny comes in the form of wealthy, California oil magnate Victor Banning, a ruthless businessman who raised his grandsons Jud and Cale to be just like him: hungry predators in a dog-eat-dog world. Soon everything they've worked for is at risk, when the Banning brothers chance meet an innocent young woman named Laurel Peyton.
