She needs a husband, and fast! Wealthy, prominent and highly respected Amanda Ross is the new principal of the junior high, but how will it look when everyone finds out that she is pregnant and single? Amanda is introduced to Marcus Hickson, but she doesn't give him a second thought as she leaves to contemplate her future. Marcus is wiped out financially because his five-year old daughter has been in the hospital for one year and he's just been told that she needs immediate surgery. He's made up his mind never to remarry because his ex-wife was totally self -absorbed, but he needs money - and fast! So how can Marcus refuse Amanda's offer of a marriage of convenience? He can't! Their platonic marriage evolves and eventually it goes beyond desire, but his trust in Amanda is shattered when she comes to his financial rescue again. His pride gets in the way - can he forgive and forget or will it keep them apart even after he learns her secret? You're either going to love or hate Marcus Hickson! You'll have to read Beyond Desire to decide for yourself, but I'm sure you'll agree that it is well worth the read! Wonderful characters! Rich, complicated and very human, Marcus and Amanda come to life in Gwynne Forster's newest romance, Beyond Desire! A story with a thread that might be all too common today, yet Beyond Desire raises social and personal issues that will make you stop and think. Gwynne Forster is a terrific romance author who possesses the rare talent of combining contemporary issues in a satisfying romantic story. Gloria Miller --
