Great love story! Kyla Stroud was totally in love with her Marine Sergeant husband, Richard. The arrival of their son, Aaron, made her husband's absence even more heartwrenching for her. To her horror, on the day after her son's birth her husband is killed in a bombing in Cairo.

Enter Trevor Rule into her life. Trevor had been Richard's best friend and had undergone the bombing, also. Trevor chooses to not tell Kyla of his friendship with her husband. This leads to all kinds of intrigue in the story.

In a senseless act of terrorism, Kyla loses her husband Richard the night their son is born. Distraught, she vows to honor his memory and remain in mourning.

Trevor is devastated when he discovers that the only reason that he survived the bombing is because he passed out in his best friend's bunk. While recuperating in the hospital, his personal effects are delivered, including heart-wrenching love letters that Kyla wrote to Richard while he was stationed in Egypt. With each letter, he finds himself more and more attracted to Kyla and the life that Richard was not able to return to.

Now disfigured (and wearing an eye patch as a badge of honor), former womanizer Trevor returns to the US and rather than work at his father's law firm, decides to become a building contractor, seeking out the widow he has fallen in love with. After watching from afar, he finally introduces himself, and slowly chips away at Kyla's armor. Through the letters, Trevor knows just how to get to her.

A book about love, lose, and renewed love after tragedy strikes the life of a young woman, and how she copes with the ups and downs of her life.

This is a great story of love, found through letters, and one man's quest to make the writer's dreams come true after she experiences the greatest loss of her life. It encourages all of us to take the risk and love again.

Killed in a bombing, Richard Stroud never got his wife's love letters. Trevor Rule did--and fell in love with the writer of those letters. He was a stranger with a terrible secret. She was a grieving widow locked in her memories. It would be a challenge to make her love him--and impossible if she ever found out the truth.

The letters Kyla sent to her husband, Sergeant Richard Stroud, stationed a world away, spoke of a love that stretched across the ocean and held the young couple together. But when tragedy ended their marriage too soon, Kyla was left a widow with a newborn son. And Richard left behind only a metal box filled with his wife's declarations of love. Trevor Rule had been Richard's best friend. Returning home from military duty, he carried with him the letters Kyla had sent. And with each one he read, he fell more in love with the gentle, passionate woman who had penned them. Now he needed to convince Kyla of his feelings, and that they both had the right to be happy, to move past the tragedy of Richard's death. But Trevor was harboring a secret, one with the power to destroy the love he was trying so hard to protect.
