When she dismisses him as a client because of their mutual attraction, he begins to believe she is very different from the wife who left him…very different and very desirable. Can a caring touch lead to love and passion for a lifetime?

Skye Delaney also learned that marriage doesn’t always live up to expectations. Her ex-husband hadn’t even found time to be by her side after her miscarriage let alone try to understand their loss.

And as a man…he shakes her calm and makes her believe dreams can come true.

Laura Applegate Sanders’ world is turned upside down when Mitch Riley appears on her doorstep with the news her estranged father is about to undergo heart bypass surgery.
