Description

I met a man, a wonderful man. He kissed me, touched me like no other man ever has. I think I've fallen in love. What am I going to do about it? That's the dilemma confronting Keely Preston upon meeting dashing Congressman Dax Devereaux. The attraction between them was like a lightning strike - hot and unexpected. But also terribly inconvenient. Keely is in Washington D.C. to appeal to a congressional committee on behalf of families of soldiers Missing In Action. Serving on that committee is show more Dax. Both are under close scrutiny. What has sparked between them is difficult to keep secret. After twelve years of living in limbo, married but alone, Keely is reawakened to desire by Dax's passion. But he also touches her heart, where she has preserved the sweet memory of her husband. One love represents her past; another her future. Will clinging to one mean having to sacrifice the other? show less

Interesting emotional conflict. Too much of the same thing over and over. Kiss, pull apart, kiss, pull apart, etc., etc.
Good thoughts about how long should a spouse wait for a MIA. Liked how her employer supported her efforts and her emotional strength to get in a helicopter each day. Surprised how could she trust and fall so in love with such a playboy type man as that senator.
At times the story didn't make much sense - there were lots of gaps - important information was just implied. The book cover doesn't go along with the story at all. Irrefuehrend.
Typical early contemporary Brown. The characters make or break her books.
