Fate throws them together – a disastrous flood, an isolated stone house, a handsome and successful surgeon, and a lovely young girl. He saves her life – and steals her heart – as the floodwaters advance on their little refuge.

When the waters finally recede, Celia knows that dashing Guy Denver is her life’s only love. And Guy – though married to a woman who will never set him free – returns her passion, but his sense of honour will not let him speak.

Will the sweets of sorrow soon turn to bitterness… or love fulfilled?
