Familiar Strangers — Bettina Montgomery

Dr. Adam Chase had a condo overlooking the Pacific Ocean, an XKE and a Mercedes, a sailboat, an income in the six figures as a result of one of the finest practices in obstetrics and gynecology in southern California. He also was divorced, had three children who were strangers, and a gnawing sense of discontent that he refused to acknowledge.

Margo Hastings was a talented sculptress, on the brink of being nationally acclaimed. She left New York for California to sculpt, to forge a new, independent life, to shed memories. She knew, the moment she met Adam, that he was wrong for her. And he thought she would be an exciting new conquest.

They fought each other and they fought themselves as sexual attraction deepened into love. He expected her to live for him, to be there when he wanted her, especially as he went through the torment and anguish of an ugly malpractice suit. She wanted to be supportive, but what about this new glory of her talent, what about the emotional support she might need?

Familiar Strangers--a novel of love today--with its difficulties and pains--and its joys.
