Seven feet of break-your-camera ugly, hardened mercenary Mason Salisbury has made rescuing abused and exploited women and children his mission in life. No matter how many missions or how many women and children there have been since, he can't forget Baby. The first child he saved, the one who set his feet on this path when he was little more than a child himself, the one who captured his heart irrevocably the first time he laid eyes on her.An exquisite beauty by anyone's standards, Willow Sullivan is more than happy to spend all her time in her rather unique shop, The Green Man. Restoring gargoyles is her passion...and her obsession. Seemingly living a charmed life, Willow suffers from terrible nightmares. Nightmares she has no clear recollection of in the light of day, but dark dreams that haunt her none the less. Nightmares that are slowly eroding her life...and her sanity.Perhaps they stem from the time before, a time Willow has no conscious memory of. Before she literally appeared out of nowhere, starved and broken, on the Sullivan's doorstep. Before Dr. and Mrs. Sullivan took her in and adopted her. Unable to forget the beautiful girl-child he's kept track of from a distance for two decades, arranging a meeting, Mason hopes she remembers him, prays she doesn't.Even though losing Baby again will utterly destroy him.One look at the hideous stranger and Willow knows he holds the key to her heart. What she doesn't know is that he also holds the key to her past.And her future.
