Andrew Roberts has picked out the perfect Christmas present--an engagement ring. His Christmas wish is to marry the woman he loves. But where has she gone?
Andy hasn't felt such anticipation for Christmas day since he was five years old. This year he has plans, life-changing plans. He is going to propose to Allyson Flanders, the woman of his dreams. He'd lived his first thirty years as a confirmed bachelor, contented with dating, managing the family's fleet of ships, fishing, and sailing anywhere he wanted, whenever he wanted.
Until . . . One date with Allyson, and Andy was hopelessly caught by the smartest, kindest, most beautiful woman he'd ever met. He had no complaints. Life with Allyson was better than anything he'd ever imagined. They spent hours of every day together, casting lines into the waters off the shore of Martha's Vineyard, talking, laughing, and dreaming. He hadn't spent a day without being in Allyson's company.
Until . . . Something happened after Thanksgiving. Something he can't figure out. Something he can't name. But that something has created more distance than a two-month sail from Vineyard Haven Harbor to Sri Lanka. Allyson has no time for him, barely speaks to him, and makes secret plans without him. The diamond and sapphire ring resting in the black velvet box looks lonely, but not as lonely as Andy feels. Where is she spending her time? Why doesn't she return his phone calls? Has she found someone else?
Is there any hope his Christmas wish might still come true?
