A Better Fate — Prudence Martin

They were committed to their careers and to each other: For the first two years of their marriage their jobs had kept them three hundred miles apart Together now, Nicole and Randell Clarke cohosted St Louis's most popular daytime IV show. At home and on the job they were the perfect pair--until opportunity knocked.

The opening for an anchor on the evening news team was the chance of a lifetime and an invitation to disaster. Torn between supporting Rand's bid and advancing her own, Nicole watched her wonderful marriage begin to fall apart. TV news-- hard news-- was what they both wanted. They were competing for a prize they couldn't share. If she-- or Rand-- took the next step up the ladder of success, they'd have to choose: the perfect career or the perfect love.
