  **Crossroads 5: Show Me What Love Is** Bethany Rigallo only knows pain. The
  first man she thought she loved and who claimed to love her back, did so with
  fists and cruel words instead of kisses and care. She's fought hard to get
  through those times, and knows she's all alone in this world when it comes
  down to it. She doesn't trust easily. It's easier to face life alone than to
  feel the pain of heartache and disappointment.
  
  
  Despite all the tragedy in her life, she still has a big heart and somehow has
  made some friends while establishing a career. But once she meets the Cummings
  men she starts to wonder if they can show her what love is, or if they'll hurt
  her just as badly as her ex.
  
  
  As the lovers' pasts cross, it soon becomes a race against time to save her
  from death once again. Can she dig deep enough to find that last bit of fight
  in her to survive?
