A Clean Romance Showcasing a Love which Endures a Thousand Years ... Nicole Bessam had finally found him. After long, fruitless years of searching, after countless missteps and mistakes, she had at last reunited with the man she had pledged her heart to. He was right there in front of her. But he didn't remember her face. Commander Jon Paxton was transfixed by the woman before him. He'd had relationships in the past, certainly - women who eased his loneliness. But none had ever called to him the way Nicole did. None had ever fit into his life as neatly as a key fits into its lock. And there seemed to be so much more beneath the surface - but he just couldn't reach it. Nicole had to move as carefully as a cat negotiating a thin ledge high above a desolate abyss. One reckless step, one shift in the wrong direction, and the love they had treasured for a thousand years could be forever lost.
