520    "Driven and recklessly daring, Martin Sabater follows his 
       lifelong dream of owning a cacao plantation in Valle del 
       Cauca. But on the night of a spectacular gala, he 
       disappears--and is never seen again. Now his hacienda is a
       budding Catholic hospital saving lives during an emerging 
       epidemic. And novice nun "Sor Puri" is there to uncover 
       the truth behind Martin's disappearance. But her real 
       identity--and her past with the heartbreakingly 
       charismatic Martin--will put far more than her perilous 
       search at risk. A professional photographer, Lucas 
       Ferreira is Martin's best friend since boyhood. He has his
       own reasons for helping the determined, alluring nun. But 
       what this reserved man won't reveal about his thwarted 
       dreams and unrequited passion could prove key to the past-
       -or a lethal trap. Martin was head nurse Sor Camila's only
       love--until an unfortunate mistake changed the course of 
       her life forever. Now, Martin's home is an unexpected 
       chance for her, Lucas, and Puri to set the past right. But
       with their secrets unearthing explosive memories and 
       wrenching lies, can they survive the truth about Martin--
       and the consequences that will forever alter their 
       destinies?"--|cProvided by publisher.
