Intimate Strangers

Patrick O'Donnell had returned from the dead

Ecstasy was called for, and gratitude that Patrick was alive and well. But, in plain fact, Megan was terrified of seeing Patrick again. They'd been newlyweds when he had been sent overseas, and the twelve long years had changed Megan, forging her into an independent, disciplined woman -- not the young girl Patrick would remember. He, too, had doubtless changed. Would she find anything in him that she'd loved and cherished a lifetime ago?

In a Maryland cabin Megan awaited this unexpected resurrection, wondering what she would say to this man, this stranger...her husband.
