Aiden Briggs is a hunk, there’s just no other way to say it. Tall, well-muscled and ruggedly handsome, his work as a civil engineer routinely takes him to untamed corners of the globe. His wife, Suzanne, is a quiet beauty, dark-haired and doe-eyed, and a gifted water colourist. Fiercely devoted to one another, theirs was an ideal marriage until the bottom suddenly dropped out of their world.

After five years, the emotional scars from that life-changing ordeal have yet to heal. And now each of them face their own personal trauma, struggling to come to grips with the unthinkable.

Will Suzanne survive her crisis? Can Aiden find his way back home, or will the detour forced upon him be his last?
