title: Affairs of the Heart
author: Loveright, Faith
description: Hope’s been widowed for what seems like forever and her life seems to have lost its spark. Not knowing what else to do to try to save herself, she caves in to the desire to take the romantic vacation Jack had wanted to take her on before he’d died. Sadly, once she gets there, he’s still all she can seem to think about. Things don’t start to look up for her until she goes for what should have been a romantic moonlit stroll along the boardwalk and bumps into a sexy stranger. When Dan flirts with her, he makes her feel like a woman again for the first time in forever and she is helpless in the face of the desire he stirs within her. Before Hope has time to think about it too hard, she finds herself involved in a full blown red-hot love affair. Her vacation is now better than she’d ever dreamed it could be when she set off with the intention of feeling close to her husband again. It isn’t until Hope realizes that she hadn’t thought once about the fact that in sleeping with Dan, she had been ultimately cheating on the man she’d pledged her unending fidelity to that she realizes that she’s given her new lover more than her body. Her heart is involved too. It feels like the ultimate betrayal of her vows to Jack… but did she have it in her to let Dan go now that she’d rediscovered love?
