She had travelled across the world from her native England to start a new life completely absorbed by her work, not needing a partner or children, such was her dedication and fulfilment in her life’s passion. Until she met Doug Hall, who exuded a strength of character which had her falling instantly in love with this tall, handsome army lieutenant, who shared her passion for archaeology.
But Doug had had a troubled past and buried his pain behind his strong army persona until Annie reached inside his heart, extracting his gentle masculine side.
The shared one intense week together before Doug was sent on a potentially dangerous army mission, promising to return to her.
However, he didn’t return and Annie had to use all her inner resilience to cope with his silence while she tried to find out what happened to Doug.
When she does find him he is a different man, her gentle Doug once again hidden. But even worse, he doesn’t remember Annie or the love they shared.
Theirs is a story about finding their own inner strength in the face of adversity. Their love story traverses between the beach and the lighthouse and their quest to reconnect is as strong and persistent as the light across the ocean.
