Ten years ago Nate stole her heart...then crushed it. Now she's gazing into his blue eyes again. Dare Lila hope that things could turn out differently this time? The day Malila Vasquez, curator of the San Francisco Institution of Art, has dreamed of has finally arrived. She's worked hard to see the new Native American art exhibit that she created which showcases her own Navajo lineage, come to fruition. To add to her joy, she'll display three of her own paintings. This is the big break she has waited for since college. Then Lila receives a phone call that will change her world forever. Victoria, her old college roommate and a very wealthy woman, is dying. She begs Lila to fly across country, to speak to her in person. Vicky pleads for Lila's help. What about the big plans she has for her career? Can Lila leave at this moment in time? Even more, choosing to help her friend means facing the only man she's ever loved--Joseph Neal Rodman III, Vicky's brother. Can Lila's heart survive seeing him again? And can she live with herself if she doesn't at least try to help her friend? For her friends sake if for no other reason, she must!
