Publisher's Synopsis
When a high school senior, Sarah Rolleston, meets Zach Saban, the tall, dark, and gorgeous exchange student from Israel, the attraction is undeniable. Despite their differing faiths, they fall in love. After graduation, Zach returns home to fulfill his military service, and they vow to write. But while Sarah writes faithfully, Zach's silence leaves her heartbroken.
Years later, now a young widow, Sarah Trainer travels to Israel to surprise her son, who is working there. However, her plans take an unexpected turn when Mossad agents detain her at the airport as a person of interest-and to her shock, the driver is none other than her high school love, Zachary Saban. Though he pretends not to recognize her, the fire in his eyes later reveals the truth. As fate reignites their romance, Sarah sees it as a second chance. However, their rekindled love is tested by the gulf between their worlds: Sarah's unshakable Christian faith and Zach's unbelief. With a heart hardened by years spent in service to his country, his life is filled with violence, espionage, and warfare. Sarah refuses to marry an unbeliever, and with Zach's lack of faith, she returns home. To the outside world, their love seems beyond saving, yet Sarah remains steadfast, praying fervently for him. Meanwhile, war in the Middle East escalates, and Zach's missions grow increasingly dangerous. Confronted with violence at every turn, he battles the demons haunting his soul. With nowhere left to turn, he prays for a faith he has never known. But will that be enough to save his soul-and his relationship with Sarah-before the chaos of his world tears them apart ... this time forever.
