Not only will they will have to make some difficult decisions but some intriguing family secrets about their pasts will also emerge in this unforgettable love story.

A talented author, Mason sets the hook early in this remarkable book and once she has you on the line she’ll hold you there until you’ve finished this tale of forbidden love. This is perfect summer reading!
