AUTHENTIC LOVE ~ DOES IT EXIST?

Deeply wounded in heart and spirit, Marissa Dorian turns her back on her family’s faith and old ways and chooses scientific, geological facts to forge her future. Yet her Armenian heritage whispers sharp truths she can’t escape, generational beliefs she won’t accept.

When Archeologist Sean Kelly unexpectedly comes into Marissa’s life, he surprises her with an unconditional love that she finds hard to believe is real. His Irish Catholic family and faith give him a foundation she knows will trap her in traditions she’s purposely rejected. Like other men, he could betray and abandon her, so she pushes him away. But as Covid devastates the world, can Marissa and Sean find their way back to each other? Will the peace of Native American cultures help them connect to peace within themselves? And will Sean’s dream—to walk up Mount Ararat to the archeological site of Noah’s Ark—lead them to discover ancient truths—and allow them to find true love?
