From the back... In the beginning, Cynthia McKinney was attracted to J.T. because he'd loved his first wife so deeply. The man obviously took love and marriage seriously. Now, with a new baby to care for and the responsibilities of running J.T.'s household, Cynthia's feeling overwhelmed. She's in no mood for comparisons with the Perfect Pauline. But then, Cynthia learns a thing or two about her uncompromising husband and his fairy-tale first love. The truth is startling, but liberating. For starters, J.T.'s second marriage was no shotgun affair...
He'd kissed her in the twilight...and Liz's young heart had been lost forever.

HUTCH WAS TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE FOR BETSY... But the two of them were so made for each other, it hardly mattered. They seemed to share not only passion, but genuine affection. They never ran out things to say, and Hutch understood Betsy on an instinctual level, despite all the strikes against them -- her cousin Ruth McKinney's disapproval, her mother's purported nervous breakdown, her father's stony silence, the terrible burden of her money and the reluctance of both of them to entertain any thought of marriage. They might not have a future, but their present seemed practically incandescent.
WHEN RUTH LOVED HIM, NOTHING ELSE MATTERED The Double C was awash in preparations for a Valentine's Day wedding, but Tyler took no joy in the proceedings. He and his wife might as well be on different planets. The wedding diverted her from her pain, but what about his guilt? What about his needs? His wife was meat and drink to Tyler McKinney, the air he breathed and the essence of his life. With Ruth beside him, he could tackle anything, but when she was separated from him--either physically or emotionally, he just couldn't hack it. Neither could go on this way. Something had to give.
