As a child, she filled his void. As a woman, she completed him. Clare has lived on St. Isabel Island all her life, except for a few months she can't recall. A traumatic childhood experience has left a blank spot in her memory and a lingering feeling of having lost more than just a small, painful piece of her past. When the enigmatic Dr. Richard Kelly arrives on her island, she's found that missing part. Yet she's certain the man is a stranger to her, until she discovers he's been hiding something from her, a secret that reawakens her childhood fears and threatens to upset her life again. Richard Kelly's hard-earned career as a world-renowned neurosurgeon has been derailed by his ex-wife's unspeakable betrayal. His entire life is on a downward spiral. In a desperate attempt to outrun his demons, he sets off to a remote island in the South to trace the origins of an anonymous painting. He doesn't expect to come face to face with the girl he once knew as Misty, and he's instantly captivated by her genuine charm. But if the charismatic kindergarten teacher of the secret lagoon is the Misty of his past, why doesn't she remember him? Misty Dreams is a heartwarming love story about the healing power of new beginnings with an unexpected ending.
