She came to see the woodcarver.

 She never expected him to see her.

Helen Deaux is fifty-eight.

She has loved.

 She has lost.

 She has built a beautiful life.

She was not looking for another great love.

And then she walked into Sampson Vale’s studio.

He is sixty.

 Blind. Scarred.

 Quietly commanding.

 Devastatingly handsome.

His hands know wood.

 His voice knows restraint.

 And the man knows how to make a woman feel as though she is the only person in the room.

Sampson has spent years believing there are parts of him a woman might tolerate—but never completely choose.

Helen has no intention of tolerating him.

She intends to love him.

But there is something Sampson Vale has not told her.

Something enormous.

Because the man standing among the cedar shavings and carving tools is not quite the man Helen believes him to be.

And by the time she discovers the truth...

she has already fallen in love with the woodcarver.
