One brief sweet hour

Bad memories were best left buried

The luxurious Caribbean cruise was a onetime extravagance--supposed to help Lauren forget the past and build a new life.

Instead it brought her face to face with the unhappiest part of that past--Dale Ransome. He was as bitter and hurtful as ever.

All Lauren wanted to do then was return home--but she stayed to help Dale's young brother with a problem. She never dreamed it would help solve her own!
