It wasn't our time when we first met, but it is now. Corinna On this beach, out of the blue, Liam proposed to me. We'd only been dating for six months, but I said yes without hesitation. I would've said yes even if it were only one. Three months later, we should have had our wedding, but a funeral was held instead. A long time has passed and I'm still grieving and alone. After asking Liam to send me a sign that it's okay to move on, the wind blew my cap into Clay's hands. I hardly noticed the stunningly handsome surf instructor who witnessed Liam's proposal to me back then. Now? I can't get him out of my mind. Clay The moment I saw Corinna the first time, my heart raced more than on the best wave I've ever ridden. But Liam walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. The way she gazed at him over her shoulder, and the way he kissed her beautiful face was as unforgettable as she was. I wanted to be him. For her to smile at me like that. And when I saw her this week alone, sad, and without a ring on her finger-my feelings came flooding back. *Note to readers: Ring Of Hope was previously published in the anthology Love Ever After.
