What if everything you ever thought was true about your past, wasn't true at all?

Liana Winn has always felt like an outsider in her family. As a child she was adopted by relatives after her parents' plane accident in India, but now that she is as an adult, her disjointed memories—and nightmares—of the past continue to make it impossible for her to bridge the wide gulf she still feels with her adoptive family. She is plagued by questions about her parents' deaths and wonders if that event is the reason for her inability to form deep personal relationships. Although her adoptive brother Christian has become her greatest friend and supporter, she even has difficulty bonding to him. Needing someone means love, and losing those you love hurts too much.

When Liana meets the successful businessman, Austin Walker, who has risen above his own difficult childhood on a Wyoming farm, she is certain their business will not extend to friendship. Yet she cannot deny their powerful connection and the feeling of hope he offers.

But the ghosts of the past will not rest for Liana, and when she travels to India in search of answers, she makes a shocking discovery at her parents' gravesite that just might mean the end of everything she's ever believed.

A satisfying, beautifully-woven story from best-selling author Rachel Ann Nunes.

What Others Are Saying


I've been admiring this book and wanting to buy it ever since I noticed it on the shelves and today I was finally able to buy it! Even though I was exhausted when I got home, I sat down and read it all in one sitting. Wonderful book! I hope there are sequels because I want to see where the characters all end up!

Author's Comments


This is my first book targeted toward the general book market. My editor feels like this is the best novel I've written so far. I hope the sales support that belief. I learned so much about India and Ukraine while writing this book, some of which I've been able to include. Enjoy!
