New podcast author Michelle Bekemeyer's maiden voyage into podcast noveling is a historical romance in which passionate characters at cross-purposes meet in awkward ways. The characters are handled with a delicate touch, the writing graceful and refreshingly free of the cheesiness often associated with the genre.

Alexandra Wolter is beautiful, intelligent, wealthy…and ruined. She's spent the last two years abroad making peace with her fate as she searched for happiness on distant shores. Unsatisfied and weary of travel, she returns home to England. A chance encounter will tilt her world on its axis, but will it bring her happiness? Charles Devon spent years regretting the indiscretion, so when an opportunity for redemption presents itself, he seizes it without hesitation. But Alexandra is no longer the timid girl she used to be and forgiveness comes at a price. Love may mark the end of their travels, but their journey is only just beginning.
