Rachel Everly returns to her home town, Neptune's Landing, to learn why her sister Mallory, committed suicide. Rachel wonders if Kyle Scanlon is the underlying reason, as the hunk has tempted every female in town from the moment he opened up his mechanic shop.

Rachel is surprised to find out that her sister left her with her pride and joy, the Nine Ball family pool hall. Because she feels guilty for not being there for her sibling, Rachel plans to honor Mallory by turning the place into a thriving business. She moves into Mallory's small apartment above the pool hall, but finds the place haunting as she constantly yells (a bit overdone) why at every hint of Mallory's presence, which is everywhere, and starts to locate clues of the source that propelled her sister to apparently kill her self. Clues to the evil that controlled Mallory, until her death was her only relief from her dark side; Rachel is next if she fails to interpret what she truly inherited from her sibling.

FLASHBACK is a tense romantic suspense thriller starring two combatants falling in love, while the heroine wonders if her beloved led her sister to the dark side. The war between the lead couple is fun to follow, but the key to the exciting storyline remains with Rachel's efforts to learn what drove her sibling to suicide. As readers ponder why also, only Kyle can keep Rachel from repeating her sister's mistakes, but she must trust him to be her champion; a difficult undertaking when you deem him unworthy of her, and most likely in her estimation the cause.
