In an extraordinary debut that shimmers with rare emotion, Annette Reynolds weaves a story of passion, loss, and betrayal--and a woman who must risk everything to find the courage to love again.... They were childhood buddies who swore they'd never let a girl come between them.  Then they met the only girl who ever could: beautiful, funny, smart Kate Moran.  Yet it was Paul who finally married her--and Mike who resigned himself to a lifetime of hiding what he truly feels.  Until life took an unexpected turn... What do you do if your perfect marriage isn't perfect?  If you find yourself harboring a secret desire for your husband's best friend--and then, tragically, your husband dies?  For Kate, rocked by grief and guilt, the only way to deal with the loss is to retreat.  Yet you can't run away from what's in your heart...and soon Kate will have to face the truth: about the man she married, the man she wants, and the devastating secrets only lovers can conceal.
