A Cross to Bear — Julieanne Lynch

In his darkest hour, hope leads him to glory.

Focus and determination are all that Logan Belanger lives by. Brought up single-handedly by his mother, he moves to Columbus, Ohio, to begin the next phase of his life as a competitive swimmer with Ohio State University. All that changes when he meets Bree, a troubled young woman who hides a dark secret that has the potential to destroy his faith in love.

New friendships are forged and bonds created that send his life into a spiral. Not being able to handle the pressures of college life, Logan soon finds himself walking down the dark and lonely path to self-destruction -- losing those he loves along the way.

Can Logan break the cycle or will his actions be his cross to bear?
