What Should Have Been - Joni Berry - Bog

After leaving her hometown and first true love, Libby Bennett returns to begin her life anew. Years of abuse and deceit at the hands of her now ex-husband, Stephen, a big city attorney, have caused her to long for the simple, peaceful life of Clifton and the sort of life she knew as a child and teenager. Little does she know, Stephen lurks in the shadows with evil in his twisted mind. With the help of her lifelong friend, Maggie, and her husband, Libby would forge a new life for herself, beginning with opening a business of her own.
Handsome, strong, gentle, hardworking Ben Stewart, Libby's first love, slowly reenters her life. Before long, the young couple have rekindled the love for each other they had never truly lost. All the while, Stephen is in the background-always dangerous, always a threat, always disrupting what should have been.
