What it feels like
Reading this contemporary romance feels like stepping out of a storm into a sun-drenched, albeit melancholic, sanctuary. The narrative balances the heavy, aching grief of a parent's worst nightmare with the disorienting, tender haze of unexpected love and amnesia. Set against the lush, isolated backdrop of a Hawaiian island, the atmosphere is both intimate and emotionally high-stakes. The prose focuses intently on internal longing and the slow, delicate process of tearing down emotional walls. It is a steady, earnest journey that rewards the reader with a profound sense of healing. Those who devour stories of wounded heroes, miraculous second chances, and the powerful, restorative nature of found family will find themselves deeply moved by this dramatic reunion.

About the book
Feel the emotion as a special woman reunites a father with his long-lost son...and three people become a family.
After his son's disappearance, millionaire Danny Crosby couldn't go home again and fled to a private hideaway off the coast of Hawaii. But then a beautiful woman appeared out of nowhere, stumbling from the scene of an accident. He didn't know why she was there -- or why he ached to hold her close.
Sydney Aston had no recollection of her purpose in finding Danny or how she could fall so totally in love with this stranger. When the shards of memory returned, she realized her intention to reunite this tormented man with his son. Deep down, she hoped that this could be the homecoming for all of them....
