Short description
New in 2011, Edie Claire's first release since 2004 is written in the style of her acclaimed novels of classic romantic suspense (Long Time Coming and Meant to Be, both 4.5-Star Romantic Times Top Picks). Intelligent, aloof Sarah has sworn to keep the secret of what happened one terrible night when she was only 17. Even if that secret destroys her life... and even if it causes her to lose it.
New in 2011! Written in the style of Edie Claire's two previous acclaimed novels of classic romantic suspense (Long Time Coming and Meant to Be, both 4.5-Star Romantic Times Top Picks), Borrowed Time is the author's first new release since 2004!
Sarah Landers’ parents were killed in a plane crash when she was seventeen; her only sister committed suicide days after. Now, nearly a decade later, Sarah assures everyone she is perfectly fine--never mind her quiet aloofness, her intensity at work, her seeming neglect of any social life. Only Sarah knows the whole story. Only she is aware of the dark memories that plague her with guilt--of the fear of discovery that paralyzes her soul.
But when an enigmatic illness forces the normally self-sufficient Sarah to depend on someone--namely the charming do-gooder of a neighbor, Adam, whom she has been trying desperately to avoid--her carefully built cocoon begins to crumble. Her family’s home in Alabama, left vacant since the tragedy, still.. (Read more)
New in 2011! Written in the style of Edie Claire's two previous acclaimed novels of classic romantic suspense (Long Time Coming and Meant to Be, both 4.5-Star Romantic Times Top Picks), Borrowed Time is the author's first new release since 2004!
Sarah Landers’ parents were killed in a plane crash when she was seventeen; her only sister committed suicide days after. Now, nearly a decade later, Sarah assures everyone she is perfectly fine--never mind her quiet aloofness, her intensity at work, her seeming neglect of any social life. Only Sarah knows the whole story. Only she is aware of the dark memories that plague her with guilt--of the fear of discovery that paralyzes her soul.
But when an enigmatic illness forces the normally self-sufficient Sarah to depend on someone--namely the charming do-gooder of a neighbor, Adam, whom she has been trying desperately to avoid--her carefully built cocoon begins to crumble. Her family’s home in Alabama, left vacant since the tragedy, still holds the grim evidence of her nightmares--and is slated for imminent demolition. With the horror of her past swiftly catching up to her, Sarah’s malady begins to look less like a catastrophe--and more like her only way out.
But the (rather irreverent) reverend Adam Carmassi refuses to let Sarah go--not when she is the first woman who has ever truly touched his heart, and not when he is so certain he can help her. With the end of Sarah's life looming in more ways than one, Adam wages a desperate campaign to convince her that no matter what tortured secrets she insists on hiding, her life is worth living--and their chance of a future together, however slim, is a dream worth fighting for.
