Brad’s brother recently found the love of his life, and now he too longs to find his one. No one seems to compare to his first love from years ago, though – the woman he left behind for money and a career. To remind him of her love, though, on what would have been their wedding anniversary, Brad writes her a letter. Never mailed. Never read…until this year, after the storm ends. Hannah’s estate is in foreclosure – unable to keep her family’s estate after her parents’ death. Sparks begin to fly however after the estate is purchased and the new owner arrives. Not only was Brad the love of her life, but he’s also the man who walked out on her eight years ago. At first sight, Hannah’s grandmother believes their love still exists, and even as her health fades she works to help Hannah see the good in Brad.
Hannah must deal with painful memories from her past as she is forced to work with Brad and save her estate, but will her stubborn pride cause her to lose him again?
She begins to see Brad in a new light, and the love she felt for him long ago is reborn. When Hannah’s ‘little sister’ Clare discovers Brad’s secret, though, a storm of events will begin that may destroy their only chance for love, and may risk Hannah’s life in the process. Brad and Hannah will face both tragedy and loss as they rekindle their love, remembering that grace always follows the storm.

This is a story about loving at the wrong time and reconnecting just at the right time.
I liked how Hannah was willing to try anything to keep her family estate in one piece, so she takes the chance that the plan Laci concocts. Her reaction to Brad showing up is completely natural, and the story does take the time to allow the couple to rediscover their love for each other.
If anything, the only thing I disliked about this novel was the disjointed nature. It begins with Laci and Mitch, and twenty percent in, the focus switches to Hannah and Brad.
The perfect novel for anyone who enjoys a contemporary tale about love.
