Jethro (Possum Hollow #2)
Moxie Darling

Jethro Sutton is an outcast—scarred, crippled, and shunned for a hellish crime he didn’t commit sixteen years ago. For over a decade, he’s lived as a recluse. A wild man roaming the West Virginia hills with a heart full of hate and love for a girl he once knew.
That girl destroyed him. The woman she became haunts his dreams.
And when she finds herself on the knuckle-end of her husband’s fist, Jethro is forced to intervene. But saving his green-eyed, backwoods beauty queen rips open wounds that have been festering for too damn long, and he ends up knee-deep in a swamp of memories that threatens to drown them both. Because some cuts are too deep. Some bones too broken. And some loves just ain’t enough.
