But a chance to work with some of the most magnificent paintings brings him close to the world he still loves…and an extraordinary woman who sees his true heart.Darkness couldn't extinguish the light in her heart.Blind from the age of four, Emily Lawrence yearns to experience the outside world. When she hires Kieran Donnelly to catalogue her father's paintings, he offers her a glimpse at life outside her exquisite home…and a chance for a future.Can Kieran and Emily emerge from the darkness to find happiness and love?
