Naomi Bowes lost her innocence the night she followed
her father into the woods. In freeing the girl trapped in the
root cellar, Naomi revealed the horrible extent of her
father’s crimes and made him infamous. No matter how
close she gets to happiness, she can’t outrun the sins
of Thomas David Bowes.
Now a successful photographer living under the name
Naomi Carson, she has found a place that calls to her, a
rambling old house in need of repair, thousands of miles away
from everything she’s ever known. Naomi wants to
embrace the solitude, but the kindly residents of Sunrise
Cove keep forcing her to open up—especially the
determined Xander Keaton.
Naomi can feel her defenses failing, and knows that the
connection her new life offers is something she’s
always secretly craved. But the sins of her father can become
an obsession, and, as she’s learned time and again, her
past is never more than a nightmare away.Review
