Synopsis
Dane Corvin is back home in the Pacific Northwest, supposedly to help his dying uncle. The real reason, although he won't admit it to himself, is to see his lost love Helen Raven. Secrets, a shattered past, and love that will not die are at the heart of this novel.

Publisher's Note
Dane Corvin has returned to the Pacific Northwest to ease his dying uncle's last difficult days. And, although he's loath to admit it, he also returned to see Helen Raven--a woman he loved and left twenty years ago. Dane has changed and he now knows the value of love and the power of second chances. This time, though, it is Helen who hides a secret--something that could unite the two or destroy them both.

Industry reviews
Maxwell, who has written as A.D. Maxwell (Murder Hurts) and Ann Maxwell (The Ruby), might as well sign himself Robert James Waller Maxwell. Like The Bridges of Madison County, this breathlessly melodramatic novel opens and closes in the present day, with entries in a tell-all journal, references to a photograph album and a secret, enduring love. Years before, game-service agent Dane Corvin went undercover in Washington state to nab salmon poachers. During the investigation, the rugged Dane spent one night of passion with Helen Raven, a poacher's sister. But Dane sent Helen's brother to jail, effectively ending the bittersweet romance for a while. Twenty years later, returning to Puget Sound to care for his cancer-stricken uncle, Dane checks in on Helen, now a 39-year-old widow. Helen is afraid to tell Dane that her son who's conveniently away at college is his son. Yet she can't resist her old flame: ``Slowly she became a woman again, instead of a mother. And Dane became a man, the magnet for her love.'' Maxwell indulges in hamfisted references to wolves and ravens as the characters' mythological counterparts; over and over, Dane's wolf-like green eyes, which his son has inherited, are contrasted with Helen's raven-like darkness. The author also goes to absurd lengths to show Dane's sensitive side, while also hinting at a Neanderthal masculinity. Clich‚s and a scorn for subtlety render the characters ridiculous. But things could be worse at least Dane doesn't have a name for his truck. Translation and dramatic rights: Dominic Abel. (Apr.)
