Convinced she was doing the right thing, she married another and built a life far different from the one she once imagined. Now widowed and facing a bitter custody battle for her children, she finds herself more alone than ever. But Alexei Amos never forgot her. As Alaska's newly appointed governor, Alexei carries responsibilities that leave little room for mistakes or regrets. Yet when Clarise returns to Alaska, old feelings resurface—along with painful memories of everything they lost. As they work together to protect her family, both must confront the choices that separated them years ago and the future neither dared hope was still possible. Can their love survive over a decade of heartbreak and mistakes? Or have they come together only to lose each other once more? From USA Today Bestselling Author Naomi Rawlings comes a sweeping historical romance about second chances, forgiveness, and restoring what seems beyond repair. Note: audiobook delivered by BookFunnel.
