Dr. Daniella Waveny is back from a medical posting in Guyana carrying more than just her suitcase. The difficult to diagnose virus that forced her return to her northern Canadian hometown could threaten much more than her livelihood. It could shatter her dreams.

Luca McAffery has her own baggage. The iron sculptor and hockey coach carries the world on her shoulders, but when she runs into Daniella, her arms are—fortunately for them both—wide-open. So is her heart.

A devastating hit at center ice first brought them together years ago. Will the consequences now tear them apart or will the spark of their passion be hot enough to thaw the secrets that stand between them?

Annie McDonald is a proud Canadian who is insatiably curious about the world. Writing has always nipped at her heels, but it was only at the halfway point of life that she decided to put a collar on it. Now, her goal is to complete a novel set in each of Canada’s provinces and territories.

When not unraveling the tangled webs her characters have woven, Annie enjoys hiking, golfing, and kayaking, all necessary to balance her love of cooking.

She currently lives in the Niagara Region surrounded by grapevines and their promise.
