Publisher's summary

Darek Christiansen is almost a dream bachelor - oldest son in the large Christiansen clan, heir to their historic Evergreen Lake Resort, and doting father. But he's also wounded and angry since the tragic death of his wife, Felicity. No woman in Deep Haven dares come near. New assistant county attorney Ivy Madison simply doesn't know any better when she bids on Darek at the charity auction. Nor does she know that when she crafted a plea bargain three years ago to keep Jensen Atwood out of jail and in Deep Haven fulfilling community service, she was releasing the man responsible for Felicity's death.

All Ivy knows is that the Christiansens feel like the family she's always longed for. And once she gets past Darek's tough exterior, she finds a man she could spend the rest of her life with. Which scares her almost as much as Darek learning of her involvement in his wife's case. Caught between new love and old grudges, Darek must decide if he can set aside the past for a future with Ivy - a future more and more at risk as an approaching wildfire threatens to wipe out the Christiansen resort and Deep Haven itself.

Uplifting heart tugging story of forgiveness

Enjoyable story about over coming pain, forgiveness, and seeing through the heavy smoke of regret. Inspiring and uplifting as the story weaves in the concepts of grace and mercy. The characters are relatable, the story true to life. The narrator did a fine job. It did take getting used to the narrator attempting a male voice. But you get used to it. Susan May Warren is a master story teller.

Excellent book!

It’s rare that I can say a book is absolutely excellent but this one is! Not too much or too little of anything. Intriguing. I couldn’t stop listening! Listened to the whole thing in just a couple of days.
Thank you for a great story!

I'm going to reread this

I really loved this book! I wasn't sure I would like it from the description. I don't care for books where the main person has lost their spouse. If I was in that situation I would unintentionally compare my new boyfried or husband to the one I lost. BUT this book surprised me. I loved the story, the characters, and the portrayal of the small town life. I have every intention of reading every book in this series and I would totally recommend this to a friend.

Forgiveness and Foster Care

I love any book that includes a story of a child in foster care, no matter how messy so I appreciate to see it here. The other topic I enjoyed was Forgiveness and the freedom and love it brings. Truly an enjoyable read.
