Dark Journey

Anna Ramey is the lonely wife of a man so debiliated by illness, that he is no longer the man she married. Sloan Marshall is a man running from his memories. When they meet on the beach of Cook's Bay, they thought they could be friends. They thought they understood each other's sorrow and heartaches. But when Anna's husband dies suddenly of an insulin overdose, Anna and Sloan are accused of murder. Suddenly, they find their love and desire for each other tested by accusations and their own suspicions of each other.This book keeps you reading as you watch Anna and Sloan's desires battle with their ethical beliefs. Ms. Canfield leaves you wondering throughout the book... Who really killed Jack Ramey? And can Anna and Sloan's relationship survive this dark journey?I loved this book the first time I read it several years ago. After finding a paperback copy in a local used bookstore, I fell in love all over again. Unlike a lot of romance novels, the characters are instantly believable and likable. You feel for Anna and Sloan. They're trapped in a situation not of their own making.And yet, they cannot even confide in each other as they find themselves on trial for the murder of Anna's husband. They fell in love so quickly, they never really got to know each other.One if the things I loved most about this book was that Sloan and Anna don't fall all over each other 15 pages in... Ms. Canfield builds the story gradually, until even I was saying "Kiss her, you dummy!"
