Paubi is a dark witch betrayed by her husband and left to burn in a horrible house fire. Through the strength of her rage she is able to pull herself to the sea and tumble into the water. When she wakes she finds herself on a distant shore in another time. Saved by a reclusive millionaire widow, Matthew Fairchild, Paubi finds herself feeling emotions long forgotten and trusting once again. Matthew is haunted with guilt by the suicide of his pregnant young wife and when he pulls Puabi out of the sea he is shocked by the similarity in their appearances. Both of them can feel the tugs of destiny bringing them together, but will it be enough to overcome the sins of their pasts?

This short novellette did a very good job on taking a small amount of writing and turning it into a decent, fleshed out story. Although the twists were basically pretty easy to figure out I still thought it was a worthwhile romance/mystery with a dash of the supernatural. Certainly the right choice for something quick and engrossing to hold your attention. ( )
