"As Tatiana Pavlovna Novikova flees Russia to escape the dangers plaguing her life, she knows her troubles may follow her to America, but she never expected this. Without one word being spoken or a single touch, simply being in close proximity to Joe triggers her deeply buried, long dormant emotions to reawaken. This strange occurrence entangles their lives together, forever, and she begins to wonder. Is there a human connection that crosses the dimensions of space and time? But Tatiana has been a loner most of her life, and as she wrestles with this mysterious bond, she has a decision to make. Can she trust Joe, not only with her secrets, but also with her soul? Joseph Earl Carleton, cursed with a perfect memory and haunted by his past, distances himself from those around him. It's the only way to keep his heart-wrenching guilt in check and prevent himself from betraying promises sworn on his mother's grave. But when Tatiana's explosive feelings invade his carefully compartmentalized world, he's unable to shut her out. The inexplicable feeling that she's in danger overrides all his rationales, because if something terrible happens to her that he could have prevented, his mind won't ever let him forget. Yet, can he help her, stay detached and ensure his pledge to a dying man remains unbroken?" -- Amazon.com
