It is us against the world, Abigail thought. You and me. . . .
Sisters.
Abigail Bennett was completely in control of her life until tragedy pushed her
to the brink of something she’d never experienced: obsession. Now,
she’s given up everything she’s ever worked for to chase down the object of that
obsession. His name is Tyler Kamp. As Abigail follows him across the border into
Canada to a beautiful winery in British Columbia, her journey is awash in
memories of family and childhood, especially those of her younger sister,
Hailey. Dangerously beautiful yet indefinably needy, Hailey seemed to take all
the risks Abigail avoided. Until now. But even as Abigail races into her future,
her past continues to pull her back. Only when she is brought to the edge of her
obsession will she be able to come to terms with the tragedy that ignited it.
A breathtaking story about the emotional risks of relationships, The Moment
