“What in the hell is that?”
asked Elias.
“That’s Stan,” Cade explained.
“The guy you’ve heard me
talk about a million times.
This is his place. He’s dressed up
like Riff Raff from
The
Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
“That’s
Stan?” He
walked over and peered closely at the
photo. Then he looked over his
shoulder at Cade, his upper lip curled in the first grin
I’d seen out of him.

Amazon writes:
Alone since her mother's death, Jill Wagner wants to eat, sleep and
breathe Cade Olmstead when he bursts upon her life—golden, handsome and
ambitious. Even putting college on hold feels like a minor sacrifice when she
discovers she's pregnant with Cade's baby. But it won't be the last sacrifice
she'll have to make.
Retreating to the Olmsteads' New England farm seems sensible, if not ideal—they'll regroup and welcome the baby, surrounded by Cade's family. But the remote, ramshackle place already feels crowded. Cade's mother tends to his ailing father, while Cade's pious sister, her bigoted husband and their rowdy sons overrun the house. Only Cade's brother, Elias, a combat veteran with a damaged spirit, gives Jill an ally amidst the chaos, along with a glimpse into his disturbing childhood. But his burden is heavy, and she alone cannot kindle his will to live.
The tragedy of Elias is like a killing frost, withering Cade in particular, transforming his idealism into bitterness and paranoia. Taking solace in caring for her newborn son, Jill looks up to find her golden boy is gone. In Cade's place is a desperate man willing to endanger them all in the name of vengeance…unless Jill can find a way out.
