Sophie'S Scandal (Rumor Has It...)

the long version

SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.... With her drunken father and ramshackle life, there were no white knights for girls like her. Yet when Reed Hardisty, the richest boy in town, came courting, young Sophie Delaney dared to dream...and gave her all. Then Reed simply took her virginity, got her pregnant -- and paid her to leave Lewiston under a cloud of scandal. Or so Sophie thought 17 years ago. But now the single mom was back in town, face-to-face with the father of her child, both tangled in a web of long-ago deceptions...and unthinkable desire.
