Now abandoned at a five-star Turkish <br>resort by the man who promised her a future she's adrift-wealthy on the <br>surface but drowning in a gilded cage of control and manipulation.</p><p>When a rip current pulls her under Klim emerges from the water like a <br>savior. A tour guide with clear eyes and a sacrificial heart he rescues <br>her without expecting gratitude. He rescues her because he understands what <br>it means to be broken and still choose to save others.</p><p>Liza escapes with Klim to a modest family hotel on the Mediterranean coast <br>where she discovers something she didn't know was missing: the freedom to <br>be herself. In Klim's presence she is not judged or controlled. She is <br>simply seen. And she falls deeply in love.</p><p>But Klim carries a secret as heavy as the Aegean tide: he is dying of a <br>brain tumor and he has refused treatment. When faced with an eighty percent <br>chance of permanent disability he chose to live fully rather than survive <br>diminished.</p><p>Liza cannot accept this choice. She sacrifices everything-her inherited land <br>her past her security-for money to convince him to fight. But Klim will not <br>be saved the way she wants to save him.</p><p>In the end she must learn that true love isn't about changing someone's <br>mind. It's about accepting their right to choose their own fate even when <br>that choice breaks your heart.</p><p>BEFORE THE AUTUMN FADES is a meditation on what we're willing to sacrifice <br>for love what it means to be truly free and whether some bonds are stronger <br>than death itself.</p><p>Perfect for readers of Danielle Steel and contemporary emotional romance.<br> </p>
