Variation on a Theme — Billie Douglass

LIKE THE TWO STRANDS OF A DUET,

the lives of Rachel Busek, flutist, and Jim Guthrie, private investigator, drew together until they became one.

Rachel was a child of privilege, while Jim came from the wrong side of the tracks. There seemed no reason why they should fall in love, no way that they could spend their lives together, especially because Rachel's past held a secret that even she could only suspect. But when the tangled emotional skeins surrounding her birth were unraveled, the way was cleared for the one thing she wanted most: a life of perfect harmony with Jim.
