Dove's Way
by Linda Francis Lee
"Even months after that day on the train, her face still haunted my dreams. And I was sure the feel of her in my arms would stay with me forever. But then one night, she stepped back into my life as if walking into my dreams...."
Matthew Hawthorne saved Finnea Winslet's life one day on a train in Africa. But Finnea didn't know that on that day she saved his soul. Destroyed by scandal, Matthew would have been ostracized completely by the unyielding society of his birth had he not been such a powerful man. Matthew doesn't let himself care about anyone or anything—until Finnea arrives unexpectedly in Boston.
Raised in Africa, Finnea is as foreign to Bostonians as they are to her. Yet she is determined to make a life for herself there, so she turns to Matthew to learn the ways of that rigid town. But can Matthew help Finnea without losing what is left of his heart?
From the jungles of Africa to the heart of Boston society, DOVE'S WAY is an extraordinary tale of redeeming love that will rescue a man—and release a woman from the pain in her heart.

Linda Francis Lee's Bio
RITA nominated author Linda Francis Lee is a native Texan now calling New York City home. Not crazy about heights, she's not sure how she ended up living on the 34th floor of a high rise in Manhattan. But there she is, diving into the brand new adventure of writing contemporary romance novels.
Lee's career truly began with the publication of the historical romance, Blue Waltz, which has been viewed as a breakthrough novel. The Atlanta Journal/Constitution called it "absolutely stunning."
Growing up, Lee created stories in her head. "That's a nice way of saying I spent too much time day dreaming," she laughs. At 20, realizing that she had done most of her living vicariously through reading, Lee took on a series of challenges. "I did things I thought I couldn't do," she recalls.
Among a laundry list of challenges, Lee began running and taking math and science courses until she ran a marathon and became a Probability and Statistics teacher. But it was writing that captured her imagination. Eleven books later, Lee's stories have been called wildly romantic and deeply emotional, a moving combination of laughter and tears.
