Summary

A deeply stirring novel of all the loves that fill a woman's life.

Once upon a time, Sandra was happily married to Victor Winslow, the favorite son of a town called Paradise, a politician who could do no wrong. Then an accident took Victor's life, and everyone blamed her for his death.

Now Sandra has had enough of Paradise. Her only way out of the nightmare of controversy is to rebuild and sell her Victorian beach house at the edge of town. She hires Mike Malloy, who's as skilled with his hands as he is at touching Sandra's lonely heart. His fight to secure a future with his children awakens all of Sandra's hopes and dreams. But can she trust a man with unbreakable ties to the community, a man determined to discover her deepest secrets? Torn between her need to confront the past and her longing to begin again, Sandra must decide where her heart is—a new life far away, or right here in Paradise.
