Until the Dawn, (Paperback)

Sophie isn't a complicated person, but I'd never describe her as simple, either. A masterful chef, her soul-deep desire remains unfulfilled. Engaged three times in her life, she finds herself still unmarried when disaster limps into her life, leaning on a cane and behaving like a bulldozer with a sore tooth. Quentin's life hasn't been easy. Too rich and too powerful almost from birth, he finds himself beset with depression fierce enough to plunge him to dangerous depths. The surviving member of an unhappy marriage, he finds himself at a loss as to how to raise his son, Pieter. Among other things, Pieter stayed with his highly superstitious great-grandfather while Quentin recovered from a life-altering injury and now the poor lad suffers from fears of the inexplicable. Sophie and Quentin never would've met if they hadn't had Dierenpark in common. Sophie loves the huge, neglected estate and is appalled that Quentin intends to wipe it off the map. Literally. With dynamite. Time, proximity, and Sophie's faith result in the unlikely pairing of the two, and the ripples of their union affect the world around them for good.
