Darcy Williams had her heart broken seven years ago when Kincaid Foster turned away from her and returned to his life of privilege. He's back on Fortune's Island and she's afraid he'll learn her secret. And, Darcy's not sure she can rein in those feelings she thought dead but now realizes were just dormant.
I enjoyed this story, particularly how it was presented. We learn about the foundation of Darcy and Kincaid's relationship through a series of flashback recollections, strategically placed in the context of the present. It was nice to see how the younger versions of the characters handled similar situations. It also helped me understand the depth of their emotions, which made it easier to accept how quickly they came together after he returned. Their relationship was sometimes sweet, sometimes frustrating and often steamy.
I liked the story, especially because both Darcy or Kincaid shared responsibility for the decisions made seven years earlier. I could understand each of their points of view and found myself going back and forth on who was more to blame, who was more sympathetic. The issues were colored in shades of gray, which made it a more interesting read. I'm looking forward to continuing the series.
