Fit to be Tied — Mildred E. Riley

Winthrop Hatcher and Mercita Mederios were once young and in love, but family obligations, duty and prejudice ripped them apart. The blue-blooded son of Rhode Island 'royalty' was forbidden to marry his African American sweetheart. Each went on to live their lives while enduring the painful memory of a great but unspeakable love. Thirty-five years later, reunited by chance, they find their attraction as as powerful as ever, but secrets in their past threaten to rip them apart again.
