Mysterious dreams draw costume designer Isabella Silviera to Angelโs Bay, the California coastal town where angels occasionally dance above the wavesโbestselling author Barbara Freethy enchants again in this emotional and compelling tale of family secrets, abiding friendships, and heart-touching romance.
Isabellaโs drive to Angelโs Bay would have ended in tragedy when her car slid off a cliff if she hadnโt been rescued by Nick Hartley. As he helps her to safety, she realizes he is the man who has haunted her dreams. Nick, however, is committed to reconnecting with his estranged teenage daughter, refusing to respond to his powerful attraction to Isabella. And Isabellaโs police chief brother has his hands full with a missing mother, an abandoned baby, and an unknown father. What is Isabellaโs role in the mysteriesโboth past and presentโthat swirl around the town?
When she starts helping at the Hartley family theater, all the pieces begin to link together. Loves found and lost, heartbreak and happiness, courage and betrayal are all part of the patchwork quilt of the communityโand of life. Isabellaโs gift is seeing the patterns.
