Still, every year on her birthday another porcelain butterfly arrives postmarked from a new exotic place-a gift from Emmett, who's been on the run since being implicated in a bombing. Now that he's been spotted in Hawaii, Rachel will stop at nothing to find him again. But the man occupying her brother's cottage is a stranger. A man haunted by his past. A man looking to use Rachel for his own purposes. A man Rachel wants as she's never wanted another man. All too soon, the tangled lies of their lives begin to unravel, and Rachel finds herself surrounded by greed and treachery. Will she ever know who she can trust?
