«Karma» by Carol Lynne

From an Olympic gold medalist to a jail inmate, one mans journey to rebuild his life after hitting rock bottom. Once a celebrated athlete, Guy Hoisington fell from grace and into a bottle. For years, the citizens of Cattle Valley went out of their way to avoid the drunk lecher, but one man, Shane Rendell, not only dated Guy during a brief period of relative sobriety but fell in love with him, too, before he was hastily cast aside. Living within the thick haze of liquor and sex, Guy rarely made good decisions, but on one particular dark night, he makes the worst decision of his life when he decides to drive down the mountain after a long evening of drinking. He wakes from a coma to discover he's run an innocent man off the road and has a life-changing injury. For the first time in a very long time, Guy is able to look at himself through sober eyes, and he hates the man in the mirror. In one stupid move, he's lost what little self-respect he had left. Shane has tried for two years to move on with his life after falling for the town alcoholic, but when he learns of Guys accident, he rushes to the hospital. Although the entire town may hate Guy, Shane is determined to prove that Guy hasn't lost everything.
