He hasnโt 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 yearโon 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 theyโd spend the rest of their lives togetherโuntil a family tragedy tore them apart. Fourteen years have passed and theyโve both carved out separate lives hundreds of miles apartโhers as a wife and mother, his as a successful, driven businessman. But once a year, on the anniversary of her daughterโs birth, Kate pulls out a red velvet journal and writes a letter, which sheโll never send, to the man who still owns her heart. 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 Kateโs life.
When a subcontractor at one of Rourkeโs 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 newfound closenessโforever.
Extras! Don't miss sections from Kate's journal and Rourke's file at the end of the book! You can also take a peek at that night at the lake when Kate and Rourke were eighteen and blissfully planning their future together. Then morning came and tragedy tore them apart...
