Love has a way of finding us again-through memory, through destiny, and sometimes beyond the ordinary boundaries of time. In Love's First Name, the story begun in Always & Forever expands around the Santini family, whose lives remain bound by fierce loyalty, enduring love, and extraordinary connections they do not fully understand. Galen Santini has built a life around his wife Emilee, their children, the family that surrounds them, and the portraits that have made him an internationally celebrated artist. Now a prestigious White House commission draws him toward the greatest challenge of his career-and into a wider world where private devotion and public danger are beginning to collide. Around Galen and Emilee, new loves ignite, old souls find one another again, and second chances arrive where they are least expected. Some will discover that the heart remembers what the mind cannot. Others will learn that family is not defined by blood alone, but by the people willing to stand beside us when the storm arrives. And a storm is coming. On the rain-slick streets of Los Angeles, a feared vigilante has returned. Hidden threats gather, extraordinary abilities begin to surface, and the people Galen loves are drawn toward events that will test courage, faith, loyalty, and the unseen bonds connecting them all. Sweeping from the Pacific coast to Washington, D.C., Love's First Name is an emotionally charged romantic family saga of love, memory, second chances, supernatural connection, and danger-and the sequel to Always & Forever.
