Love Like This — Amanda Hill

Dalton Moss has come a long way since she left her semi-single life in Los Angeles to live as Mrs. Roman Duquesne in Washington, D.C. She's a devoted wife, she's got a much more serious career and now, she finds herself keeping company with scholars and the political elite in place of the barflies and forever young who were her friends and colleagues back home.Who would have ever thought it?Dalton, it would seem, has finally grown up.But it's an ongoing struggle to define herself as a "real" adult in a real adult world as she can't help but recall her former existence as a carefree party girl in Hollywood and even wonder if she made the right decision to leave it all behind. It doesn't help that life is going on without her just fine back in California (except for a very disturbing transformation by her little sister, Maddy)-and that everyone she meets in Washington seems to know something about her husband that she doesn't When Dalton is told of a secret that Roman's been keeping from her ever since they first met, by Roman's ex-girlfriend, to add insult to injury it suddenly appears that she might have made the wrong choice when she gave up everything that was hers to share everything of his.Now Dalton's faced with the daunting task of having to figure out if it's situations like these that come along to challenge a marriage, and test two people's love for one another-or ultimately, prove that it was never meant to be.
