Red Heart Novels
True Love Never Dies
The Brokenhearted
When Callie was young, she met breathtaking, jaw-dropping, drop-dead-gorgeous Brishen, who was as sweet and kind as if he’d never glanced into a mirror in his life. Cool as dark sunglasses, all the women wanted to sleep with him. All his friends wanted to be him.
Unsophisticated and guileless, Callie fell crazy, head-over-heels, madly, passionately in love with him in that overwhelming, all-consuming, insane life-or-death way that older, wiser souls know can never last.
On Father’s Day, 1979, Brishen went to the lake with their friends to watch the boat races, where he dove into shallow water. Out of town, Callie didn’t learn of his death until the day after his funeral. Devastated, she couldn’t bring herself to return.
Unable to forget the man she’d loved but barely known, after twenty-four years when the flame had failed to flicker and die, Callie gave in to the escalating need to find his grave and say goodbye. And when she finally did, he said "hello. "
