Dreams of forever are often accompanied by nightmares from the past…
At least, Derrick Rawlings and Shari Thomas would agree. After years of being apart, the two are suddenly reunited: having achieved remarkable success as a London businessman, Derrick returns to his roots in Arkansas to take over the reigns of Rawlings Industries, the family business, after his father suffers a heart attack and retires. Running into Shari again, Derrick initially shuns her due to the broken heart she left him with, but upon discovering that she bore him a son in his absence, he quickly welcomes her and their child back into his life, honored to be given a chance at fatherhood.
But not so fast: the conniving Mia, the living embodiment of "Never take no for an answer," refuses to be rejected by Derrick in favor of his rekindled romance with Shari, and the flame that she continues to carry for him soon threatens to burn their union down in an inferno of unresolved, unchecked passion.
On top of all this, a long-hidden Rawlings family secret soon re-emerges, adding fuel to the fire as an additional impediment to Derrick and Shari's fate - and, as cruel as it seems, having been committed by Derrick's own father years ago, solely in the name of love.
As the story unfolds, it seems nearly impossible that the reunited lovers will be able to overcome the obstacles that constantly confront them, but love, the true strength of their union, proves too formidable a foe for the various elements determined to render them apart. In The Name Of Love is a heart-warming read that more than reassures the reader of all the possibilities to be achieved through true faith and patience, if one only believes. More so, though, it is a cautionary tale of the benefits of maintaining personal resolve, no matter how difficult your individual path may be. Ward reminds us through the perseverance of her protagonists that the only failure lies only in refusing to fight for what you truly believe in. Highly recommended.
