For Erica Sanders, finding a soul mate was the easy part. Brian Lawson is the man she wants, and everyone agrees theyre the ideal couple. Almost everyone. The one exception is Ericas mother, Karen, who prefers her daughter marry another man. Karen even hires a private detective to investigate Brian, but the truth he uncovers is the last thing she expected—a devastating betrayal that rips both families apart. Convinced that her relationship cant be salvaged, Erica ends her engagement. Yet she has lingering doubts over her decision, especially once Brians attractive single neighbor starts pursuing him. A chance meeting proves that the passion between Brian and Erica hasnt dimmed—but neither has the determination of others to keep them apart, or the shocking lengths Karen will go to in order to undermine her daughters relationship. As secrets old and new are revealed, Erica and Brian find themselves caught between the bonds of the past and an uncertain future, each making painful discoveries about who to believe and trust. Masterfully told and laced with the sensuality and drama that Brenda Jackson does best, this is an unforgettable story of relationships at their most complex, and how hard it can be to choose between living separate lives—or holding fast when love hangs by a silken thread….
