A contemporary romance of a widow’s grief, a new beginning, and a love that has blossomed in the shadows . . .
After the sudden death of his brother, Ethan invites his lovely but shattered widow Celeste to his island home off the coast of Australia. He soon discovers that Celeste is nothing like the woman his brother described, an unrepentant flirt. Instead, she is a gentle but passionate woman who knows her own heart—a woman capable of resurrecting buried memories . . .
For years, Ethan has fought the feelings that Celeste has stirred inside of him. Now is his chance to let go of his guilt, recognize the love shining in her eyes, and use their passion to repair past mistakes.
