Dark Obsession

IT'S A RECIPE FOR HEARBREAK AND REGRET! Grant spoke with sudden, violent intensity. "And you honestly believe that a marriage can still be happy even though all the love is only on one side?" Nor Fran was shocked by the raw bitterness in his voice, and her gaze flew to his face. "It isn't enough, believe me!" His words seemed to beat into Fran's brain. She suspected they would even weave themselves into her dreams, oppressing her before the moment of waking, enveloping her in a gray blanket of foreboding. Grant hadn't been referring to their marriage, but his bitter statement sprang from his own past experience, and it applied equally well to them. It wasn't enough for only one to love... SECOND WIFE, SECOND BEST? Fran couldn't remember a time when she hadn't loved Grant, and over the years the wild longings she'd felt for him as a reckless adolescent had intensified and grown. First love had endured. Yet she was hesitant when they met again in London. "It's madness, and you're crazy if you agree," Grant warned her, "but let's get married and sort out the rest afterward!" If only he'd said he loved her, Fran might not have been so acutely sensitive to every reminder of his first wife...and how much she resembled her.
