Michael is back in her life, he leaves the priesthood and happiness is within their grasp.

But when past and present collide, their whole world is turned upside down. Only by facing the consequences of what has gone before, can Nina and Michael embrace the future. Janna Gray guides us masterfully through this poignant story of love, loss, betrayal and hope.
