He spent years believing he had lost her forever. Then the past found him.

Though she offered him her heart freely, he could not believe he deserved it. Certain that she would someday discover the flaws he saw so clearly in himself, he stepped back instead of forward and one fearful choice became a lifetime of regret. Now, an unexpected discovery forces Andrei to confront the decision that shaped both their lives.
