He hasnβt 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 yearβon 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 theyβd spend the rest of their lives togetherβuntil a family tragedy tore them apart. Fourteen years have passed and theyβve both carved out separate lives hundreds of miles apartβhers as a wife and mother, his as a successful, driven businessman. But once a year, on the anniversary of her daughterβs birth, Kate pulls out a red velvet journal and writes a letter, which sheβll 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 Kateβs life.
When a subcontractor at one of Rourkeβs 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 closenessβforever.
