“Her most haunting and passionate novel yet.” —Affaire de Coeur
From the beloved #1 bestselling sensation Fern Michaels, a haunting portrait of love and war—and the passionate woman swept into an epic journey of desire, heartbreak, and destiny.
Casey Adams, a dedicated nurse, loses her heart overseas to idealistic officer Mac Carlin, heir to an immense fortune. Then tragedy strikes. Believing that Casey has died in an explosion, Mac returns to San Francisco grief-stricken, to a life he never wanted. But Casey is still alive, keeping Mac in the dark after learning that he kept from her a shattering secret. Once home, Casey finds healing in the hands and heart of a brilliant plastic surgeon and forges ahead under a new name and with a new career. But fate charts a collision course for her and Mac, now a U.S. senator who doesn’t recognize the compelling TV producer getting under his skin. For Casey, this full-circle journey cannot be denied, no matter what. For only by reclaiming the woman she was and the life she lost can she embrace the magic of unexpected love.

The day after Ruby Blue graduated from high school, she turned her back on her abusive father and moved out on her own--into the spring of her life. In the summer of her life, she married a man she didn't love and bore him two children. When autumn came, Ruby separated from her husband and started a business to help keep her son in college. In winter, she faced the remaining portions of her life and her mortality on her own terms. Ruby Blue is a strong woman whose decisions throughout her life temper a steel backbone that allows her to bend and give without breaking. In unforgettable style, Ruby matures and comes to terms with her own flaws while desperately searching for someone who will love her as she is. Melanie Duncan
