Water Stone Heart

Forty year-old Nicola Rhys-Jones is a woman in hiding. Fleeing an abusive husband she finds refuge in Boscastle a village on the rugged coast of Cornwall England. Andrew Stratton is an American professor of architectural theory. Shocked out of his academic bubble when his ambitious wife leaves him he signs up for something tangible: a course in the art of stone wall-building-in Boscastle. From the moment they meet Nicola and Andrew are attracted to each other but at daggers drawn. Nicola sexy yet sarcastic is an expert at fending off men. In Andrew she meets her match: quick-witted funny yet gentle-he gives as good as he gets. When a nine year-old sprite named Lee befriends them both she sees straight through their defensive armor. What none of them know is that a ferocious storm is brewing one that could destroy them and the entire village they call home. And that storm is about to hit.
