After
a short absence, one of Genesis Press’ most popular authors return with a new
release which is as good as anything she has written. Darren and Lesley have a past.
Years ago they were to be married before the wedding, designed from the
Darren company are stolen. Evidence
points to Lesley whose family owns a rival company.
Hurt that her intended does not love her enough to believe in her
innocence, Lesley leaves Philadelphia. Darren,
however, is convinced that one day he will make her pay for her betrayal. Five
years later, Lesley finds out that the firm that she is working for has been
sold. She discovers that Darren,
intent on revenge, has done all in his power to make sure that he can control
her professional life. Despite his
cruelty, Lesley realizes that she still loves the man whose child she has born. As
time goes by Darren realizes that Lesley could be innocent.
He does find out that he still loves her and when he discovers that he
has a daughter, he is overjoyed. With
this, a cautious relationship develops, and slowly they begin to trust each
other again. Eventually, the real culprit is discovered and Darren and
Lesley are allowed their happy-ever-after. BOUND
BY LOVE on the surface has a almost cliché soap-opera plot, but because
of the talented writer Ms. Clark is, the story is a character study of two
individuals who have been hurt and need to learn to trust again. A wonderful menagerie of secondary characters, and the
adorable, Dara Ann, makes this book one to be remembered. Ms.
Clarke continues to prove that she is one of Genesis best. |
