At the center of this spellbinding novel is Anne Jewell, a teacher haunted by a scandalous past&#8230;until she meets a man who teaches her the most important lesson of all: nothing is simple when it comes to love.&#8230;<br><br>She spies him in the deepening dusk of a Wales evening&#8211;a lone figure of breathtaking strength and masculinity, his handsome face branded by a secret pain. For single mother and teacher Anne Jewell, newly arrived with her son at a sprawling estate in Wales on the invitation of an influential friend, Sydnam Butler is a man whose sorrows&#8211;and passions&#8211;run deeper than she could have ever imagined. <br><br>As steward of a remote seaside manor, Sydnam lives a reclusive existence far from the pity and disdain of others. Yet almost from the moment Anne first appears on the cliffs, he senses in this lovely stranger a kindred soul, and between these two wary hearts, desire stirs. Unable to resist the passion that has rescued them both from loneliness, Anne and Sydnam share an afternoon of exquisite lovemaking. Now the unwed single mother and war-scarred veteran must make a decision that could forever alter their lives. For Sydnam, it is a chance to heal the pain of the past. For Anne, it is the glorious promise of a future with the man who will dare her to reveal her deepest secrets&#8230;before she can give him all her heart.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i> 427962 2006 Simply Love (Simply Series #2) total:481|5:127|4:171|3:150|2:25|1:8| 481 1827 655 44 71644 0440241979 9780440241973 465 40 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170782650m/71644.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71644.Simply_Love 4 0 false Sun Sep 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 15:06:08 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 15:13:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 71644 0440241979 9780440241973 465 40 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170782650m/71644.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71644.Simply_Love 3 2 false Thu Jun 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 11:13:54 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 11:33:38 -0700 2009
