A widow searching for a future—a deejay hiding from his past—a stalker seeking revenge—an interweaving of romance and intrigue set against the mosaic of Northwest Ohio's farmlands.

Stained glass artist Liz McAlister abandoned her craft to be a mother and farmwife. She had never set foot in a bar. Had never consumed alcohol beyond a little wine. Had never seduced a stranger. But that was before the accident. Before God or fate or whoever turned her life upside down. In Tia's Taverna she sought escape—escape from the nothingness that enveloped her—escape into a world of tattoos and taboos.

The swish of material over nicely rounded hips caught David Morales' eye—he knew he should vamoose pronto, but the pull of the gringa woman drew him to her. That's what had gotten him into trouble before—and had cost him nearly two years of his life.

As the threads of Liz and David's destiny become entwined with one another, they also become entangled with strands from those intent on unraveling the tapestry of their lives.

Author Jean Ann Geist weaves stained glass artistry, a gardening legacy, and a passion for the local landscape—from the Lake Erie islands to the remnants of the Great Black Swamp—into a richly layered story of romance and intrigue. She has peppered her cast with seasoned characters, some of whom will be familiar to readers of her earlier novel—with a promise to delight fans both new and old!
