Synopsis

A U.S. Marine's brush with death leads him to the love of his life in this New York Times bestseller about destiny, luck, and the redemptive power of romance.

When U.S. Marine Logan Thibault finds a photograph of a smiling young woman half-buried in the dirt during his third tour of duty in Iraq, his first instinct is to toss it aside. Instead he brings it back to base for someone to claim, and when no one does he finds himself always carrying it. Believing she somehow holds the key to his destiny, he sets out across the country to find her, never expecting the strong but vulnerable woman he encounters in Hampton, North Carolina, Elizabeth, a divorced mother with a young son, to be the girl he has been waiting his whole life to meet.

As he and Elizabeth embark on a passionate and all-consuming love affair, the secret he is keeping threatens to tear them apart, destroying not only their love but their lives.
