Ten years earlier, selfishly involved in her dancing career, Tanya, young and starry-eyed said good-bye to her boyfriend, Parker, and her mother. Though she pays a high price once it dawns on her that she's left her heart behind. Through hard work, determination, and talent she becomes a well-known, international dancer. Then just when her life becomes really stale, she gets an SOS from her mother. "Come home - I need you." And need her, she did. With a bum leg and a house in disrepair, her mother admits to having run out of money, and that she's on the brink of losing their home. Parker, still the local gardener, still as handsome as ever, but not the easy-going fellow she'd known and could twist around her finger, is now a man to be reckoned with. He's the only one her mother trusts to help her find the treasure that their family history says is hidden on an island they own not far from where they live. Could these two overcome their personal pain and work together? I enjoyed the sparks that these two characters lit in each other and the brilliant way the author slowly lets each of them see the strength and goodness of the other. As they uncover these beguiling traits so does the reader. Add in a trail of suspense and conflicts and I must say - this is a very good book!
