Product Description
Product Description
She was Mrs. Lyle Forrest now, the coolly elegant wife of Louisville's most prominent publisher, the slum girl whose dreams -- and nightmares -- came true the night she married the multimillionaire old enough to be her father. For twelve years Maggy played the role of beautiful, devoted wife, the burnished jewel in Lyle's crown, mother of the child he adored. She did it for David, the son who could never know the price she paid to protect him, would never see her scars...
Suddenly Maggy's hard-won control shattered when Nick King came back to claim her. It was twelve years since they'd parted, twelve years of fear and loathing at the hands of Lyle Forrest. She couldn't afford to remember the soul-searing passion she'd known so long ago in the arms of the only man she'd ever loved. She must think of David, her son, Lyle's most potent weapon, and not of the man she could never forget, Nick, who's returned to set her free...
A riveting novel of love, lust, and savagery in Kentucky's bluegrass country--a spellbinding story of a mother's sacrifice, a dynasty's power, and one man's passion to reclaim the woman who was born to be his.
From the Paperback edition.

Maggy Forrest used to be known as Maggy Garcia, a girl from the slums. But, that was twelve long years ago, when she was another person, in love with another man. Nick King. Nick was a fantasy man--tall, handsome, and sensitive. Nick was also Maggy's soulmate. When Maggy had grown restless of her life she meets Lyle Forrest. Lyle is full of money and bottomless promises that sweep Maggy off her feet. Instead of living a life of luxury Maggy has learned the real meaning of fear. She would gladly run away from Lyle except for one thing. Her twelve-year-old son David worships the ground Lyle walks on. To add to all of this there is rumor that Nick King is back in town and searching for Maggy. What path will Maggy chose" the one with Lyle her abusive husband who offers her nothing but money, or the one with Nick who is her true soulmate and offers her and David his unconditional love? The relationship of thirty year old Maggy and Nick drive the plot of the whole book. Their past is as riveting as a story of their future might be. Maggy and Nick met in the projects--low budget housing in Portland, Louisivianna. WHen they met Maggy was six and from the moment Nick met her had taken care of her as a sister, and and later as a lover. When she had left Nick, he bitter with resentment, getting into increasingly illegal schemes and almost landing behind bars on numerous ocassions, Although it has been twelve years since they habe seen each other, it seems like it was no more than twelve days. Finally after Nick finds out about Maggy's abuse Maggy goes with Nick to ponder over her future: with or without Nick.

Do you like romance and suspense, all rolled into one? If you do, then this is the book for you. It is about a mother who runs into her old boyfriend (who also happens to be her sons father, although he doesn't know). Her husband has spent most of their married life abusing her, and poisining her sons mind against her. Then in walks the old boyfriend and sparks fly. That is where the suspense comes in and where I take off. It is a wonderful read!
