This review is from: Marriage to a Stranger (Harlequin Superromance No. 1045) (Paperback)

Seven years of marriage have left Conley and Lara Harrison with only ashes of a once all consuming passion. Raised in extreme poverty, Conley's first priority has always been to make enough money to support those he loves very comfortably. His company inadvertently came ahead of his marriage, and Lara can no longer cope with empty nights and her broken heart. Somewhere along the way, neglect resulted in her falling out of love. After sleeping alone for ten months, she asks for a divorce.

But Conley has been keeping secrets -- not another woman, as Lara suspects, but something far more dangerous. A stalker knows intimate information, calling at night and on weekends, entering his office during his absence, and even stealing a jacket. When the stalker's behavior escalates to physical danger, Conley fears for the well being of his company. Investors tend to shy of such security breaches. Lara's father runs a bodyguard service, and convinces Lara can only protect Conley if she acts the part of his loving wife until they can solve the case.

Conley welcomes the opportunity for Lara to be his bodyguard. He still loves his wife. While she makes plans for his protection, he makes plans to win her back. But for Lara to serve as a bodyguard, she must come to terms with a painful incident of the past, as well as become willing to spend time in Conley's company. Conley likewise must make major changes to win the woman he loves back before the divorce papers are finalized.

There is something incredibly endearing about a story that recaptures lost love, and especially so when the couple is already married. Such a situation brings out both tender and fierce emotions as lovers risk vulnerability and pain. Add to that mixture jealousy and betrayal, and the result is an explosive mixture that makes MARRIAGE TO A STRANGER a fantastic read. Indeed, author Kay David once again displays her flair for capturing the deepest nuances, the darkest passions, and the fiercest loves in MARRIAGE TO A STRANGER. Secondary characters are deftly portrayed, making their presence as vivid as the hero and heroine. A page turner that belongs on the keeper shelf, MARRIAGE TO A STRANGER comes very highly recommended.
