Grace finds herself alone in the world, out of her comfort zone, having to get by on her instincts and guile.

It seems like she is back to square one in her life. Starting fresh, with no prospects, no friends, and no one to turn to any longer.

She feels abandoned by the Fates, facing an uncertain future which holds little in the way of happiness or contentment.

Grace is stronger than she thinks. Grace is a survivor.

She now religiously guards her heart, builds walls to hide behind, and refuses to allow any person into that solitary existence where she finds a measure of security.

Life goes on for Grace Morgan. Only problem there? It seems to be a dark and lonely place where heartache is her only constant companion.

But just when she has found a measure of safety, the two men she never thought to see ever again,

Come back into that life.

Nothing has changed.

Brig. General Thomas J. Ellis is still married. Still enchants her and still insists she is the woman of his dreams.

J.D. McGinnis has an excuse on why he ran out on her, a feasible one, at that.

Grace's heart refuses to trust again. She's wised up. She will make her own way now.

Or...will she.
