About the book
"I can make new memories for you." When Greg Stone suddenly appeared in her quiet life, Eloise Dalton did her best to resist the flaming attraction between them. She couldn't risk her heart again. The hurt from the past had been too devastating. But, Greg, a successful director who'd just returned to New Zealand from California, was persistent. He offered to make Eloise's first novel into a film. How could she refuse? Working with Greg stirred such painful memories. Eloise had to decide how much of the past she could let go for the sake of a future with Greg. Fact is, Eloise and Greg are married but broke up 5 years earlier as Greg thought she'd been unfaithful and in a fit of rage, raped her. He'd been gone for 2 years, pursuing his budding career as a film director, after getting Eloise's reluctant blessing to 'go for it' and take their savings to make it in his career. He takes off and comes back 2 years later, as his career is beginning to take off and he's close to the big time. He's well dressed and drives a 'flash' car on his return, but misunderstands a kiss he sees between his wife and a neighbour - so, commits the rape. Five hears on, and he's a big time Hollywood Director now and comes back to claim Eloise....but their tumultuous past keeps her from trusting him.
