Description

<p>Dr. Bethany McNeal is living her dream as a pediatric resident in one of the most sought-after medical centers in Seattle. Beautiful and intelligent, she’s missing only one thing—love, which she put on hold to focus on her career after ending a tumultuous relationship. Everything changes when she meets Dr. Brent Anderson, a charming and handsome fellow resident. Despite her reservations, Bethany falls for Brent—hard. When she learns Brent is married several months into their relationship, she immediately breaks it off. After graduating residency and going their separate ways, Bethany tries to move on with another man—real estate broker and personal trainer Charles Blakely. But just when things get serious with Charles, she realizes she’s still in love with Brent, and she finds herself caught between the two men, facing a series of difficult decisions and harrowing events that will change her life forever. Will she be able to recover from the vital temptations that turned her perfect life upside down?</p>

<span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;float:none;">To those of us who like our prose refined, Ms. Eliot has considerable pleasure to offer. And to those of us who like it passionate--well, sample the Hawaiian hurricane that that opens this book. Emily B. would have loved it. And the INNER hurricane, too, is Bronte-esque--the surrender to love that whirls us through the story. &quot;Every day she painted another coat of varnish over the skin of her soul.&quot;</span><br /><span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;float:none;">But this is not a dark novel or a heavy one. It's a colorful, exotic, danger-filled adventure that bristles with scientific and alchemical speculation, a thriller that makes you sensitive to the sound of a computer in a dark room--and then it's absence. It skips like a stone to Malibu, Milan, Sydney, Varese...an optimistic book. Awe and wonder are with us throughout.</span><br /><span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;float:none;">&quot;Essentially,&quot; the narrator tells us, &quot;there are two choices to be made in life: to be bitter or not to be bitter.&quot; In Winslow Eliot's distinct voice, bitterness doesn't have a chance.<br />--Robert MacLean, author of <em>The Toby Series, The President's Palm Reader, The Greek Island Murder, </em>and<em> others</em><br /></span>
