A Different Light

Bennett Cole had lived next door to Mitchell 'Mac' Campbell, III for eighteen years of his life, in the small town of White Acre. They'd never gotten along, never seen eye to eye, and never understood one another . . . not that they'd ever cared to try.



But when Bennett's so-called buddies ditched him at a party in the woods where he was assaulted and left for dead, Bennett pulled through. The emotional scars rendered him too terrified to go back to school and face his 'friends' or his attackers. With little choice, his family packed up and left town.



Ten years later—at the request of his mother—Bennett returned to the place he'd grown up and the home he'd once felt safe, to oversee the repairs before his childhood house was sold. The contractor? None other than Mac, the once annoying boy next door, who still lives there in the home his parents gifted him.



Being in such close proximity—working together every day, to repair the Coles' family home—Bennett and Mac's contentious relationship goes from bad to worse as their personalities continue to clash. But their heated exchanges may not be as antagonistic as they seem. And when new information is revealed, can the men begin to see each other in a different light?
