How could young Amber not fall in love with her big brother's best friend, Ray? Audacious, bold and exhale-worthy handsome, Ray Coleman was everything a teenage girl could hope for. And when he left town to become one of the world's most daring photojournalists, Amber followed his every photo...spending her nights dreaming of his adventures and praying for his safety.
Now grown up and the director of a nursery school in Vermont, Amber is happy with her stable, if not slightly boring, life...until Ray comes home to recover from an injury he received from covering a potentially huge story in the Middle East.
Not the gangly girl he knew when he left town, Amber has filled out and blossomed into a beautiful woman...Ray can't help but notice...and appreciate. As both of their hearts gently awaken to the possibility of love, it seems certain that they have both found the greatest passion of their lives. But suddenly, a violent crime causes Amber's world to come crashing down, and threatens to destroy what she cherishes most...
