She was a writer of romance and a gentle singer of Celtic music; he was a rock star. He had lived for years in the seamy world of L.A. rock and roll; she had grown up in the shelter of the mountains of Idaho. She was young and lovely; he still turned heads with his long hair and good looks even though he was old enough to be her father. He had a daughter who wouldn't stand for another woman in his life; she shied away from the predatory men she met in this business. Could they possibly have any less in common or more strikes against them? Well, for Marian, the greatest impediment was that he was married. Thrown together on a concert tour, the attraction between them was impossible to ignore as they both remembered an encounter two years earlier - when she had been in over her head and he had rescued her from a harrowing situation - and neither of them had been able to forget it. Slowly he reached out to her again, and slowly she learned to trust, until she found herself Loving Andy. But even though love can be profound, obstacles can be also. And sometimes, they can seem insurmountable. Sometimes choices must be made, and sometimes . . . love is not enough. But when love is real, when the heart is steadfast, can love overcome in the end?
