Noelle St. James learned years ago that giving in to that all-consuming and all-too-elusive emotion called love only leads to heartache. When men's kisses turned cold, men's promises usually turned to lies. Now, Noelle vowed to live only for herself, and never again to be seduced by whispers of passion -- empty words used only to beguile and deceive....
Then she meets Kit Banyon -- a handsome pilot from Denver who seems to share many of Noelle's doubts and fears. In his own wounded heart Noelle recognizes something. Kit begins to make her feel alive again -- and frightened. Dare she trust in their growing love? Together, can they discover the meaning of happiness -- and turn each other's impossible dreams into rapturous reality?
