The beautiful Latino Maria Santiago, is suffering from
retrograde amnesia. A year has gone past since the boat
accident that took her mother's and sister's lives as well
as causing her loss of memory. Maria spends all her time
sequestered in her room at Reefside in Fort Lauderdale
filling her orders for her paintings. Even now jealous of
Daniel Murphy Del Rio, the man who was at the helm of the
Honora and also the man who her ill father is so fond of,
Maria now remembers her family but nothing of Daniel. She
can't help but notice his ultra hot-shot body and warm
mannerisms which do nothing to dispel the uneasiness she
feels at believing he is only ingratiating her father for
personal gain. Hating to leave her father who is very ill
with diabetes, the only recourse for her amnesia is to
retrace her steps to the place where it all began.
Daniel, rich in his own right, is famous for boat racing and
intends to return to Australia to resume his career. The
only thing keeping him is the promise to Maria's father,
Elias, to accompany Maria back to the Abacos in the Bahamas
and Little Harbour where the accident
occurred while he was manning the vessel. Attempting to
give Maria the honesty and redemption she seeks, Daniel is
bound to keep the secret of their engagement and the fact
that they were lovers. The entire trip begins to enlighten
Maria and she again falls under the spell of Daniel and his
strong physical attraction which involves breath taking sex.
An encounter with the brother of the man involved in the
accident leaves Maria believing Daniel has lied and was
having a torrent affair with her sister, Carmen, at the time
of her death. Maria dispels everything Daniel says and
leaves him to go home, as her memory has returned and all
she can think of are the lies surrounding Daniel and Carmen.
Elias dies and sets off another round of doubts, sadness and
loneliness, even though Daniel was there to handle most of
the arrangements. Now Daniel can only head to hope Town
Harbour and pray that Maria will find a way to uncover the
truth and seek him out before he leaves for Brisbane to race
and end their love forever.
WHERE IT BEGAN is a beautiful and nostalgic story of a
tremendous love between two people who are driven apart by
the jealousy of a twin sister who intended to have Daniel
for herself. Maria is the quiet sister, always in the
background, while Carmen is the flirty, deceitful one.
Weighing her conscience between her love for Daniel and her
loyalty to her sister becomes the fight in this young
woman's life. Their earth shattering love is hard to turn
from, and until she finds evidence that Carmen was
manipulative and a liar, she remains a devoted sister. This
is a page turner for sure!
Daniel Del Rio never could say no to Maria Santiago. So although their relationship is over, when she asks him to sail her to the Bahamas, he reluctantly agrees. She's convinced that revisiting the scene of her accident will restore her memory. If it does, then maybe he can finally let go and move on with his life. But moving on seems impossible when being in such close quarters reminds him of what they once had. Could their proximity be having the same effect on her? As he falls for Maria, Daniel realizes he has to confess his role in the accident…even if that confession could cost him a second chance with her.
