Distant Lover

For thirty-seven year old Tandi Crawford, the past is a double-edged sword. On one side is the agonizing mystery of her mother's early death and her father's brutal indifference. On the other is the all-too-vivid recollection of one unforgettable summer and the teenage romance that won't let Tandi rest. The fantasy of getting together with a boy she hasn't seen in more than twenty years has pulled Tandi through many a bitterly lonely night with a husband who's too busy to notice that he's lost her.
After vowing never to live in her father's house again, Tandi finds that her failed marriage has brought her and her young son back to that very same dusty doorstep. And when her daydreams of reuniting with her long-ago lover unexpectedly become an exciting and passionate reality, Tandi discovers that little in her world is what it appears to be.

As all of Tandi's relationships intensify, so does her need for answers to the questions that have haunted her for so long, from the enigma of her mother's demise and her father's emotional distance, to her husband's coldness--and her lover's scorching heat. Each step closer to the truth will reveal its own secret--secrets that will change Tandi's life forever...
