A wonderful book to get lost in for a few hours. I definitely recommend it to other readers." --Night Owl Reviews "The nostalgic, almost introspective story of a young woman, the mother who neglected her, and the wounded man who will walk the road to a happy ending with her. The story is the perfect blend of Romance and Woman's fiction that will equally satisfy readers of both genres as well as those who meet in the middle." --Heroes and Heartbreakers "Everett's newest novel is stirring. She skillfully blends the tender story of two daughters reuniting with their estranged mother with the love story of two emotionally closed people desperately trying to move toward each other.

Ella Preston likes schedules and stability, so there are plenty of things she'd rather do than travel to a remote island completely cut off from civilisation with her spontaneous younger sister Merry...and all to visit the mother she hasn't seen in fifteen years. For centuries, Sanctuary Island has provided refuge to a herd of wild horses, and as Ella soon discovers, the island is also a safe haven for people looking for hope, healing and love...not that Ella needs any of these things. But when sexy handyman Grady Wilkes steps into her life, he challenges everything she thought she knew about herself.
