Recent Reads - To the Farthest Shores

To the Farthest Shores by Elizabeth Camden - It's been six years since nurse Jenny Bennett last heard from Ryan Gallagher, so she is shocked to see him living on the Presidio Army Base. The wound to her heart that she thought was healing is torn open again when she finds that he has a young daughter and apparently plenty of other secrets - and perhaps lies - he's hidden from her during those years.

Ryan has kept the truth from Jenny, partly because his service to his country demanded it, and partly because he thought he was protecting her from further hurt. More than anything, he wants the chance to win her back, but to do that he'll need to make sure Finn, the man he's grooming as his replacement for the overseas mission, can pass the tests and be trusted to do the job. If Finn can't stay sober or can't pass the test, Ryan will be expected to go back to Japan. Ryan enlists Jenny's help as a skilled nurse to supervise Finn's withdrawal, which also keeps them all in close quarters at Ryan's secluded home.

If Ryan's plan works, Finn will be prepared to take over the mission, and Ryan will have the time to win Jenny's trust and forgiveness and a chance to start over with her. But Jenny can't shake the fear that Ryan is still not being completely honest, and Ryan doesn't understand what Jenny needs from him. Even while they struggle to keep the past from standing between them, there are apparent attempts on Ryan's life, and Finn's preparation time is running out.

This was another riveting tale from Elizabeth Camden, with interesting characters who battle their own insecurities and guilt over their past mistakes. Jenny must learn to accept and extend forgiveness, and Ryan must learn to trust Jenny completely and to demonstrate his love for her in a way she can understand.


From the publisher:

The unpredictability of her upbringing prepared army nurse Jenny Bennett to face any challenge at the Presidio Army base, but the sudden reappearance in her life of the dashing naval officer who broke her heart six years ago is enough to rattle even her.

Lieutenant Ryan Gallagher is one of the few men in the world qualified to carry out a daring government mission overseas--an assignment that destroyed his reputation and broke the heart of the only woman he ever loved. Honor-bound never to reveal where he was during those years, he can't tell Jenny the truth, or it will endanger an ongoing mission and put thousands of lives at risk.

Ryan thinks he may have finally found a solution to his impossible situation, but he needs Jenny's help. While her loyalty to her country compels her to agree, she was too badly hurt to fall for Ryan again despite his determination to win her back. When an unknown threat from Ryan's past puts everything at risk--including his life-- can they overcome the seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against them in time?
