"When Jack Merrill's ex comes to ask him a personal favor, he wants to say no. Having her back in Cherry Blossom Point is nothing but a crushing reminder of the son they lost so tragically two decades before. Still, when he finds out that the safety of her daughter is at stake, he can't refuse...But that doesn't mean he has to like it. Corinne Michaels' life comes full circle when circumstances force her to confront the past. She and Jack were far too immature to have a child back then, but she never regretted it...not even when they lost him. Grief, time, and distance have kept them apart for nearly twenty years, but when her daughter's life is threatened, there is only one person Corinne trusts enough to help protect her. Gayle Merrill has finally worked up the courage to pull the plug on her deeply broken marriage. As much as she'd hoped her life would get better the second Rex was out the door, she realizes very quickly that she has some deep soul-searching to do." -- Amazon.com
