All in Good Time

It was a lie. Elliot Douglas could never have children. For thirteen years he'd let Maryanne believe there was hope. It had taken an old Vietnam buddy at their high school reunion to blurt out the truth... a truth everyone knew.

Now Maryanne knew. The lying was over. Her marriage was over. But when she went back to Lake Nacogdoches to live with her widowed father, to begin college and a new life, she never dreamed Sam Lancaster would follow. They'd known each other since high school; he'd known the truth and never told. How could she believe him when he said he'd always loved her? Was she deceiving herself in insisting they had no future, that he was merely a part of the painful past she was determined to forget?
