Never Without You Again! — Francine Craft

Social worker Theda Coles and ace photographer, Hunter Davis (Brave Wolf)were high school and college sweethearts and planned to marry, but he broke it off and never explained. Now as she pursues her dream in sight of being the new high school principal in the mid-sized town of Crystal Lake, Hunter reappears with a teenage son. Not until he comes to her does she let herself know that the passion she felt then has deepened. He obviously is still in love and tells her why he abandoned her.

The flames between them were hot then and are hotter now, almost twenty years later. Without Theda's wanting it to, their affair begins anew and they are swept up again in fevered love. This time he swears forever. But forces in the town have someone else in mind for the job Theda wants and they see that gossip flares about their hours together and the passion they share. Adding to it, Hunter's still jealous and vicious ex-wife and the mother of his son comes for a visit, and the harrowing circus begins. There is also a tender, teenage love story woven in. Theda and Hunter face pain and near death of a dearly loved one before it ends. And does it end in triumph? Or despair?
