Two years ago, Violet Vancroft was a nomadic artist who never wanted to put down roots and Andre Shaw was a prominent Boston physican whose roots ran too deep to unearth. Their love didn't stand a chance, or at least that's what Violet believed when she received a plea for help from the sister she's never really known, so she snuck away like a thief in the night. Now Andre travels the world setting up new medical clinics, and Violet has finally found the family she'd always craved and the roots she'd never known she wanted. When their paths cross unexpectedly, it's not the reunion either one imagined. But they've never stopped loving each other, and after the dust of anger and hurt settles, passion ignites even hotter than before.
