Publisher's summary

When tragedy destroys everything you've built, how do you find the strength to go on? In Jamie Pope's powerful novel, one woman must come to terms with grief - and a passionate but uncertain chance at remaking her future.

In one shattering instant, schoolteacher Cassandra Miller lost everything that mattered to her. Stricken with guilt and sorrow, she has no reason to care about tomorrow. The last person she wants help from is the man she wants to forget. In childhood, Wylie Everett was her cherished best friend. In adulthood, he was the secret lover who left her without explanation. Now he's the person who won't let her go down without a fight. And as he renews her joy in small things, and challenges her to take a fresh perspective, the desire they once shared burns more fiercely than ever - and proves anything but safe.

An ex-Marine, Wylie has always loved Cass, though their backgrounds were as different as could be. Years ago, he walked away believing he could never be good enough for her. But he's never stopped regretting his decision. Now, helping her heal is the only way he can make amends, and hopefully make up for lost time. But their rekindled passion will be tested by pain he's never resolved - and mistakes for which forgiveness may not be enough. Can he and Cass find one last way to move forward, and risk rebuilding their lives together?

I really enjoyed this book

The book was a real life love story. I also enjoyed the characters and how they expressed them selves.

A wonderful story of hope!!

This is the story of love hope tragedy and redemption. The story was so Will told I have recommended it to anyone who will listen. It’s definitely a tearjerker the story starts off right away and you completely drawn into the story. I am so happy that I stumbled upon this author two books ago in this series she has a way of writing that put you right in the middle of it and you pause and think what would I do in the situation. But I want you you will definitely need your handkerchief to wipe your eyes. 😥🤧 definitely five stars all around I can’t wait to read another one of her stories.

Love,Love,Love

This was one of the best love stories I have listened to in a while. It will go down as one of my favorites. I will go back to experience to story again in the future. Excellent!
