The last thing Bryan expected to find that day was love, and the last place he ever expected to find it was in a cemetery. Yet, both those things happened when his eyes first lit upon Carly Miller, a vision of beauty standing mysteriously among the gray tombstones under a bright autumn sky. Their chance meeting leads to a relationship soon complicated by a lack of trust and their conflicting views of life. Baffled by Carly’s ambivalence toward him, Bryan struggles to win her over despite their differences, unaware of the dark secret that stands between them and threatens to destroy their love. Whether their love will come to fruition or is destined to die where it was born depends upon a revelation from an unexpected source. But will it come in time?About the Authors:James A.
