To make matters worse, it seems that someone was there that night and they saw everything. What follows is a whirlwind of events that make her question whether or not she should continue to call Smalltown, USA her true home.
Things go from bad to worse when she and Rebekah are paired to attend a teaching conference. Once again, their chemistry and passion for one another threaten to ruin their tentative working relationship, and while Kandice is one step closer to accepting her true feelings, Rebekah seems hell bent on keeping her away.
Even when you think you have all the answers, things still might not turn out right.
Will Kandice be able to convince Rebekah to give her a chance, or has she possibly missed out on her second chance at love?","spice","series_order","editions_count",1,"contributors",[],[96],"Open Road - Book 2","edition_id","b4aa271c-f86f-4b87-8f4d-e7dddd9e4cbb",{"_15":30,"_28":29,"_95":32},"year",2015,"first_published","Feb 2015","likes_count","collections_count","2170-open-road-book-2","format",{"_28":90,"_27":91,"_92":93,"_94":48},"page_count",68,"duration","published_date","February 14, 2015","isbn","asin","B00RB0ZMPU","hex_code","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/2155i/b4aa271c-f86f-4b87-8f4d-e7dddd9e4cbb.jpg",3,"Kindle","type","print","audio","order",{"_28":45,"_27":41,"_43":44,"_42":-5,"_51":-5,"_31":52,"_97":98},"roles",[99],"author","ffd3e5e4-86c0-4daf-ae34-bf9908cca3ac","She never imagined her life would turn out this way...

Kandice is horrified when she catches her husband in bed with her best friend. What follows is the struggle to make ends meet as a single mother to her 7-year-old son, Caleb, in the small town she left behind so many years ago. She finds a job teaching and slowly but surely regains her strength, rediscovering the woman she is inside thanks to her high school friend Rebekah.

However, one passion filled night with the principal at her small school, multiple sexual encounters and the burgeoning feelings for Rebekah that she tries hard to deny are threatening to undo her hard won peace.

Will she have the strength to follow her heart or is she doomed to repeat past mistakes?

Open Road is Kandice's story of love, redemption and second chances. Maybe she can get it right this time, but only if she follows her heart.",[],[115],"Open Road - Book 1","867055b9-46cd-4fdf-9f47-b830a3d4181a",{"_15":30,"_28":29,"_95":60},2014,"Dec 2014","2168-open-road-book-1",{"_28":90,"_27":91,"_92":93,"_94":48},89,"December 31, 2014","B00Q79XNAW","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/2153i/867055b9-46cd-4fdf-9f47-b830a3d4181a.jpg",{"_28":45,"_27":41,"_43":44,"_42":-5,"_51":-5,"_31":52,"_97":116},[99],"isLoggedIn",["P",118],"result",{"_15":127,"_17":128,"_13":129,"_130":131,"_19":20,"_132":133,"_21":134},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","robots",{"_152":48,"_153":48},{"_23":24,"_25":135,"_27":127,"_136":137,"_138":139,"_19":20,"_140":141},"Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[147,148,149,150,151],"potentialAction",{"_25":142,"_143":144,"_145":146},"SearchAction","target","https://blackauthored.com/series/7d670466-b90e-4419-9589-db228e10c60fsearch?q={search_term}","query","required name='search_term'","https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
