To love and to cherish
Description
Her man of the mist... — In the foggy cocoon of night, Alinda Hunter bared her soul to a mysterious stranger on a shadowy beach, then surrender her body and heart -- but ran away without ever asking his name! The rugged man with summer-sky eyes had made her feel alive again after months of grieving over a love betrayed, but she knew he was a fantasy, a magical gift that she could never keep. Paul-Anthony Payton vowed to find the lady whose yearning spirit had filled him with hope and made him believe in happiness, but once he traced her, he never expected she'd deny what they'd shared... or that she'd hide a truth that could bind them for always. Alida felt bewitched by the spell of Paul-Anthony's passion, but she feared that loving meant losing -- and she was terrified to risk the sorrow that ecstasy seemed to promise. Paul-Anthony had shared her secrets and understood her pain, but could Alida escape the ghosts of memory and trust in his forever love?
