Two years ago the soldier, Wade Donnelly left without saying good-bye. Now he has returned, a decorated soldier - wounded - he is impelled to look up the woman whose image has gotten him through some rough times.

Phoebe Merriman has relocated from California to New York state taking her secret with her. And to escape the grief of the death of her sister, Melanie.

The trouble is that Wade is sure that Phoebe blames him for Melanie's death. Even though he and Melanie had broken off their affair years ago. He wanted to be a soldier, Melanie wanted exclusive attention.

Phoebe was shocked when she came home from her teacher's job to find Wade, who she thought was dead, on her front porch.
Whoa! but it just gets better. Great plot - lasting love between the characters - with another great interest thrown in.

Definitely Recommended - Thoroughly enjoyable!

This book was cheesy, bland, and took some great leaps of faith to get to the end for a poor finish. I realize that silhouette novels are supposed to be schmaltzy, but I didn't realize how true this was until I actually read one; not an action I intend to repeat anytime soon. So if you like silly stories without much content and a baby, this book is for you. If you want a little more to your tale with at least the illusion of reasonability then I suggest that you look elsewhere.

I thought this book was very well written. Without telling you what the misunderstanding was and how it came about, I would highly recommend this book. When both characters are confronted about their mistakes, feelings and how they handled everything the wrong way, I feel they took the adult approach to try and make everyone involved happy. What I enjoyed most about this story was the characters did not go through a "I hate you stage" because of their misunderstanding. There was no long drawn out drama surrounding their situation. This romance was very well written, definately a keeper.
