Summary

VINCENT and CATHERINE have been living their Happy Life for 20 years. They are just as much in love; have a wonderful, handsome son Jacob and a beautiful daughter, Angel, who is about to become engaged at a double party to celebrate Catherine's 50th birthday.

Everything seems cosy, warm and wonderful...

But this is Beauty and the Beast and something is about to happen which will threaten the very fabric of that Happy Life...a devastating event that needs very careful and sensitive handling by Catherine.

As you would expect from this writer, a novella packed with trauma, romance and excitement. You'll cry tears of every kind for Vincent and Catherine as you experience the events with them. As you'd expect there are several beautiful, extremely sensual love scenes, although the focus of the story is on how the loving family copes courageously with a shattering blow that none of them could possibly have foretold; emerging even stronger than before. (NOTE: A wonderfully happy ending with Vincent and

Catherine alive, well and in love, is guaranteed!)
