Tragedy tore them apart, now destiny may just bring them back together. . .

He hasn't spoken her name in fourteen years. She keeps a journal hidden in the back of her closet and permits herself to write about him once a year-on the anniversary of the first and only time they made love. They promised to love one another forever, but tragedy tore them apart. Now, destiny may just bring them back together.

At eighteen, Rourke Flannigan and Kate Redmond thought they'd spend the rest of their lives together-until a family tragedy tore them apart. Fourteen years have passed and they've both carved out separate lives hundreds of miles apart-hers as a wife and mother, his as a successful, driven businessman. But once a year, on the anniversary of the first and only time they made love, Rourke permits himself to read the annual investigative report detailing an ordinary day in Kate's life.

When a subcontractor at one of Rourke's holding companies is killed, Rourke decides to pay the widow a visit and offer condolences, never dreaming the widow will be Kate. As they embark on a cautious journey of rediscovery, one far greater than they could have imagined, secrets and lies threaten to destroy their new found closeness-forever.

First, I would recommending reading the book versus the audio. I purchased the audio version and the narrator’s voice (Eva Hamilton) got on my nerves so bad-it was difficult to get through the book. I really enjoy Mary’s books as she is such a talented writer. I did purchase the e-book and definitely better.

When they were young Rouke and Kate were in love and a tragedy tore them apart. They went their separate ways as she became and wife and mother and her husband was killed on a job site. Turns out Rouke, a highly successful business man owns the company. He then finds out the widow is Kate and he is obsessed with picking up where they left off. He wonders if the daughter may be his? A secretary who is out of her element and a niece who drives him crazy.

On the anniversary of Kate’s daughter’s birthday, she write a letter in a journal which she never mails to the man who holds her heart. Another story of second chances. Can the big city businessman and the small town girl really turn back time and pick up where they left off, or will secrets and lies destroy them?

Abandonment of true love. Life goes on until a death brings them back together. People in your life are not who they always seem.

The book was well written because each conflicting situation was well balanced with secrets and challenges. Couplings were without romantic passion causing a cheapening effect. The deception in this book was well written. ( )

Kate Maden watched her husband rifle through the dresser drawer in search of his Syracuse T-shirt. He called it his lucky shirt, but Kate knew a tattered orange and blue T-shirt had nothing to do with Clay's success. Hard work and a will as strong as his twenty-two inch biceps were what made Clay Calhoon Maden 'lucky', but there was no use telling him that.
