Will it destroy her last hope? Ian Kittridge has his own thriving restaurant, is a respected business owner, and is active in his community.

Although he's eager to reconnect, he isn't looking for a serious relationship-he can't take the chance of becoming his father. Asia is wary of Ian's friendship because of her shameful past and the sins of her mother and father. As Asia's secrets quake the family she hoped to find, can she and Ian find their way through the storm, to a peaceful resolution, and look toward the future?
