Following the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Izzy
Banks left behind figure skating and her martinet mother Winnie to become Grace
Dillon the florist in Thunder Point, Oregon.
She still enjoys skating at Jake Galbreath’s rink, but has no plans to
go back on the circuit as either a performer or coach. Grace also is attracted to high school
history teacher Troy Headly, but he treats her as a friend not interested in
romance having just ended a long-term relationship.
However, Troy begins to realize he still wants Grace as a friend
but also needs her as his lover. As they
become a loving team, each judges what they have as a 10. That is until her mother arrives in Thunder
Bay with new but needy demands of her daughter that shakes up Izzy and leaves
confused Troy no longer confident in them as a duet.
The seventh Thunder Point Oregonian romance (see
The Homecoming, The Promise and The Chance) is a moving entry starring a superb
female and a bland but okay male. The
return of previous leads adds depth to Grace’s story as she fears
the serpent entered her Eden.
