“Leaning his head against the rain-soaked windowpane, Josh quietly wept as panic and fear were replaced by something he’d only dreamed of—unconditional love. The heathen was home.”

Josh Cameron is a closed book to all who know him. After running away from home at seventeen, he’s never looked back. The callouses around his heart are a deterrent to all except the one man who sees through his walls and recognizes the lost soul inside. But when Josh pushes him to his breaking point and finds himself without a friend, he’s left to find his own way–and ends up almost killing himself in a high-speed police chase that leaves him handcuffed to a hospital bed. The last person he expects to see when he wakes up is his best friend from his hometown.

When Josh is forced to face his past, he must choose whether to embrace it or continue evading accountability. Can Jordan Hendricks convince Josh to return to the life he ran from or is redemption an unattainable dream for “The Highshore Heathen?”
