Wow. Rouda's writing is awesome.
Julie Jones has left her suffocating marriage. With her teenage daughter, Jess, she’s starting over. Their new house in Oceanside is the first step toward a new life. Even if it does come with the unexpected. The previous owners, a pastor and his wife, have left something—or rather someone—behind…
Tom Dean has a bitter hatred for the father who considers him a lost cause, and for the woman who’s moved into their family’s house. The only home he’s ever known. He’s never going to leave. She thinks he’ll be gone in three days, but Tom has the perfect plan..
I was drowned into this book. Really it was so very readable. I loved that midpoint climax.
Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Mercer for giving me an advanced copy.

The son of the previous owners is very angry at both his parents and the new owner of what he considers his home. So while Julia believes she is the proud owner of a new home, she is, in actuality, sharing it with Tom. And Tom is a man who intends to take back what he believes is his.. at any price
