author: Lynn, Barbara
description: Lovely professional ice skater Vanessa Richmond always felt at home in the rink, even thousands of miles away from her native California. When she was chosen to teach skating in England under the great and glamorous Scott Farrell, it seemed that she had found more than just a fulfilling career. Wealthy, sophisticated Kim Winter, the guardian of her most promising pupil, had swept her off her feet--but the fragile love they shared was destined to bring them more pain than pleasure. As the rift between them grew, bringing with it the first cruel pangs of loneliness, Vanessa found herself seeking Scott Farrell for the companionship she now so badly needed. And in that quiet place where the heart retreats to discover its deepest desires, she learned that there are many kinds of love but only one that lasts forever.
