A woman who longs to avoid risk at all cost learns that men who love danger are the most exciting in this moving novel from New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.
After
a carefree childhood, Mary Margaret Kelly came of age in the shadow of
grief. Her father, a dashing daredevil Air Force pilot, died when she
was nine. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back
together. As the family moved from one city to the next, her mother
warned her to beware of daredevil men and avoid risk at all cost.
Following her mother’s advice, and forgoing the magic of first love
with a high school boyfriend who was too wild to feel safe, Maggie
instead sought out all the things her mother had lost—a predictable
partner, a stable home, and a regular paycheck. She chose to marry a
dependable, kind man who was a reliable husband and successful
accountant. Together they had a son and found happiness in a
conventional suburban life. Until tragedy struck again.
Now on
her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides
to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from San Francisco
to Rome, Paris, and Monaco. But when her travels reconnect her with the
very same irresistible, thrill-seeking man she’s spent thirty years
trying to forget, Maggie becomes terrified that rushing into love and
sharing his life may very well end in disaster. But ultimately, while
Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories of her past, fate
will surprise her in the most astounding of ways, as she walks the
tightrope between danger and courage, and between wisdom and love.
