This book was first published in 1985, and at times it may seem a dated, but I enjoy dated.
The concept of a career-oriented secretary becoming involved with an executive in an age where women would
scream sexual harrassment and hostile work environment. In any event, this is an excellently presented and an emotional story of loss, conflict and discovering new love and moments.
Rome is a sexy, aggressive man having tragically lost his wife and two young sons to a car crash. Years later he is still recovering from the loss. Having spent a night with Sarah, his wife's best friend and a beautiful co-worker, he cannot treat her casually.
Sarah, having unrequited feelings for Rome and despite her reservations is privately thrilled when Rome pursues her. Rome has some deep-sated emotional issues to relinquish such as intimacy. Sarah's continued patience and understanding allow him to sort out his feelings on his own terms. The greatest challenge is Sarah's pregnancy and her silent reserve and love for Rome and her unborn baby when he demands she terminate the life of her unborn baby.
There's not much plot here, but the relationship is very passionate and intense and manages to snare the reader's attention. A very satisfying book that you can read many times.
