Life dealt Elizabeth Romano two devasting blows: Death and Divorce. The loss of her mother and husband was an unbearable grief that she was certain her heart would never recover from.

Yet, her heart did find peace in the lonely hours while she slept. Her dreams guided her down a road gone, but not forgotten.

There, she was able to step into the past and be the teenager she once was with Gabriel, her first love. When the lease was up on the apartment she shared with John in the East Village, she left her job in the city to spend time with her dad in the town of Valley Forge, in upstate New York.

Gabriel Dwyer had just landed a huge client for the firm, the Star Investment Group. Great Plains Media would bring in billions in assets, and it was a cause for celebration.

The company promoted him to Vice President of Global Investments and his fiance, Brianna, had her sights on a life of comfort and luxury. Gabe seemed to have everything, yet the stirrings in his heart were far from the penthouse suite.

These feelings led him every day to a cathedral, and a priest who would offer him solace. It was this priest who kept Gabe from drowning, when a major decision cost him his job and the future he thought he would have with Brianna.

Leaving the aggressive life of a broker behind, and the people he thought were his friends, he accepted a job managing the finances of a small parish in Valley Forge. What happens when two teenage sweethearts meet again after 19 years? Enough to ignite those embers into passionate flames.
