The Fate of Love

Forty-two-year-old Julie has her hands full. As the owner of Dream Street Books, wife to Sean, and mother of Maci, a thirteen-year-old girl on the brink of womanhood, Julie barely has the time to keep up with the present, let alone to take walks down memory lane. But when an unexpected e-mail arrives one evening as she's closing the shop, it kicks off a chain of events powerful enough to whisk Julie back to her past-and change the whole course of her future if she's not careful. Blaine McClintock was Julie's first experience of love-and heartbreak. Now, he's on the scene again and looking to find his way back into her life and arms. Julie can't help but be naïve about Blaine's intentions towards her-and with the possibility at a chance to redeem the past-what will the cost be to her lovely life in Portsmouth, Oregon? Meanwhile, Maci is plunging headlong into young love and is falling hard for her first real boyfriend, Jordan. How will Julie's past mirror what Maci might be going through? Will Blaine offer Julie a new life she can't refuse, or will she stay in the comfortable existence she's built for herself and her family?
