Blurb
In
the closing weeks of law school, Shannon Sutherland meets handsome
and charming Englishman Will MacKenzie. Initially swept off her feet,
Shannon finds that Will has a secret that, once discovered and the
consequences realized, could destroy their fledgling relationship.
Will and Shannon take great pains to have a normal relationship but,
ultimately, find it impossible to do so. Will the pressures of their
careers and the temptations of others drive Will and Shannon apart?
Can Will and Shannon live a happy life away from the spotlight?
Excerpt
“I
promise nothing will separate us again. Just like it said in our
vows, ‘Til death do us part.’”
“Well,
about fifty percent of all marriages are ‘til divorce do us part.’”
“We’ll
be in the other fifty percent.”
“How
do you know?” I was still worried.
“Because
I love you and I am not stupid enough to make the same mistake twice.
Unless you
have any plans to break us up?”
“No.
I wasn’t worried about me. I was worried about you.”
“We’re
good then?”
“Yes,
I guess so.” I could hear a little sigh of relief on the other end
of the phone. “Other than Saturday, have you ever noticed how we
have a lot of these kinds of conversations over the phone or out in
public?”
“Yes.”
“I
wonder why that is.”
“Because
when we’re alone together, we can’t keep our hands off each
other,” Will said in a sexy voice.
“I
guess that’s true. Do you think we’ll ever be able to have them
when we’re alone together?”
“If
you mean, ‘do I think that we’ll be able to keep our hands off
each other at some point,’ I certainly hope not. But I do think we
might be able to figure out how to multitask.”
