He began the journey, touching her gently.\u003cbr\u003eHer eyes glowed yes with wanting, yes with wishing, yes with wonder, and her lips opened to his, welcoming, wanting, wishing. Yes.\u003cbr\u003eYes.\u003cbr\u003eThen no.\u003cbr\u003eNo.\u003cbr\u003e“I can’t do this. It’s madness, Pierce.”\u003cbr\u003e“It’s gladness, Ana.”\u003cbr\u003e“No, Pierce. You don’t understand.

The headaches begin then, as does the bone-chilling cold. She feels compelled to move to Denver, even though the Mile High city is a place she has never been. She knows that dreams of love are not for her, they must not and cannot be, and yet there he is, a man who touches the lonely and wishing places deep inside her as no man ever has . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDenver architect Pierce Rourke believes in dreams—for others—and in love, for others, too. His masterpiece, the Island, is spectacular proof of his beliefs. It is there, on rock as white as snow and amid shimmering fountains spun from molten glass, that he has created a place just for weddings, for the celebration of the glorious gifts and promises of love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePierce’s work is his passion. He’s not looking for anything more. But there she is, Ana. The dream he never knew to dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd now the man who has built a place for dreams and the woman who has never dared to dream must try to find, together, a way to triumph over destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Island of Dreams and the Novels of Katherine Stone:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Katherine Stone’s characters live with the shadows over their lives and make the best of them, honorably, courageously and generously.
