She's a woman with a past. He's a forgiving man. Everything seems perfect...until disaster strikes.

Will Applegate is too good for Diana Prescott, given her past. A reckless romance had brought her to Gull Harbor. Pride made her stay. She's forging a new life for herself when she meets Will. The man charms her with his honest heart.

Will helps her believe in herself again. She even volunteers for Sunday afternoon dances at the nursing home where he's the administrator. Then an accident takes away the one thing Diana always had going for her. Her delicate blonde beauty. As he helps Diana deal with pain that is more than skin deep, his sister dumps a surly niece on him right before Christmas. But Diana recognizes teen-age abandonment. Can Will and Diana take on this challenge together? Will it heal past hurts and lead them to a future together?
