Cormorant Bay

Shortly after graduating from university, beautiful Kara Olavssen feels she has to get away from her British homeland to leave behind a broken love affair that refuses to heal. She finds solace in a new way of living in California working with a segment of society so long ignored and misunderstood. Confident in the challenges that face her, Kara undertakes ambitious goals with gratifying far reaching results. She has settled very well into her adopted country.

After another visit to parents, while Kara is sitting at Heathrow Airport, returning to California, she reflects on the past. What has lead up to a marriage proposal suddenly made by Jon, someone who has been in her life forever? Nagging doubts still remain between them of issues that were not resolved. A three months' ultimatum is given by Jon to make a final decision - his pledge to her is irrevocable.

By accepting, Kara would have to give up everything she has worked so hard to achieve. But, is this the man she has been waiting for? Why then, just a few weeks later, does a chance encounter with a man she vows has no place in her life threaten to change her destiny?
