“Always With You is the bittersweet and poignant love story of a woman trapped between temptation and the ties that bind.” ~Tracey Garvis Graves, New York Times bestselling author of On the Island and Covet.With Cathy’s health food café thriving, a loyal circle of friends, and a heartbreaking divorce behind her, she has finally found contentment along the summer shores of the Russian River in the … shores of the Russian River in the California Wine Country of 1977.
Cathy still keeps men at arm’s length, safe from the temptation of love and all of its painful consequences. But when an old high school friend, Pam, brings her family for a short stay, Cathy’s stone walls begin to crumble when she meets Jamie. Jamie, whose compassion and warmth slowly break down her defenses. Jamie, whose devotion to his four-year-old daughter melts Cathy’s heart and makes her desperate for a family of her own. Jamie… who is married to Pam.
Cathy never imagined that she would fall in love with a married man.
Jamie never imagined he would do anything to compromise his honor.
But a love powerful enough to transcend time, place, and even death, forces them to question the values they hold dear. Always With You is a profound and bittersweet tale that asks: What would you do if love was the last thing you were looking for, but exactly what you find? And how do you make a choice when every road leads to a broken heart?

“Love has no beginning and no end” is the last line in the book and this is what encompasses the novel and will make you cry as you continue on through each chapter!
It is beautifully written with descriptions in such detail that you will feel the emotions of each person, the breeze on the porch as you …
