My life was adrift...
Until I found her.

Broken and bruised from an accident that nearly took my life, Cora was the nurse who cared for me. She not only tended to my wounds, but for a brief time, she healed my heart as well. 

But, our lives were destined to take different paths and I never thought I'd see her again. 

Three years later when she moves into my small town, I can't help but wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something. 


Cora is seeking a new beginning. For years, I've been wandering the streets of this town, searching for something too.

Maybe she's the answer to my prayers.

But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long...
