In book two of The Parting Glass series, after Cate and Robert have survived the worst, a vicious battle leaves Robert gravely injured. When he displays signs of PTSD, it’s up to Cate to save her husband—and her marriage. The tides turn again when an unavoidable separation occurs, almost destroying the pair. But nothing stops Robert from protecting his wife—not even an ocean. And when a chest holding Robert’s possessions arrives, Cate grieves her husband. But she keeps her eye on the door, hoping that he’ll one day walk through it.
