On My Wishlist is a weekly event highlighting a book that I really want to read. The book may be 20 years old, or the pub date may not be until next year, but either way I'm excited about it, and hopefully you will be too!

Synopsis from Goodreads
Kacey Cleary’s whole life imploded
four years ago in a drunk-driving accident. Now she’s working hard to bury the
pieces left behind—all but one. Her little sister, Livie. Kacey can swallow the
constant disapproval from her born-again aunt Darla over her self-destructive
lifestyle; she can stop herself from going kick-boxer crazy on Uncle Raymond
when he loses the girls’ college funds at a blackjack table. She just needs to
keep it together until Livie is no longer a minor, and then they can get the hell
out of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
But when Uncle Raymond slides into
bed next to Livie one night, Kacey decides it’s time to run. Armed with two bus
tickets and dreams of living near the coast, Kacey and Livie start their new
lives in a Miami apartment complex, complete with a grumpy landlord, a pervert
upstairs, and a neighbor with a stage name perfectly matched to her chosen
“profession.” But Kacey’s not worried. She can handle all of them. What she
can’t handle is Trent Emerson in apartment 1D.
Kacey doesn’t want to feel. She
doesn’t. It’s safer that way. For everyone. But sexy Trent finds a way into her
numb heart, reigniting her ability to love again. She starts to believe that
maybe she can leave the past where it belongs and start over. Maybe she’s not
beyond repair.
But Kacey isn’t the only one who’s
broken. Seemingly perfect Trent has an unforgiveable past of his own; one that,
when discovered, will shatter Kacey’s newly constructed life and send her back
into suffocating darkness.
So, what do you think? Is it one that you'd like to add to your wish list? Have you already read it?
