A Brand New Life Clara Leake

A Brand New Life, the sequel to The Love Inside, continues the enduring love story of Ann Hanes and Jeremy Johnson. These two lovers have been kept apart, but only in the legal sense because Jeremy is trapped in an unhappy marriage-but the passion between the two is about to overflow. A chance meeting at a Fourth of July holiday party reunites Ann and Jeremy for the first time in many years. Their conversation is strained at first, but as time passes, they become more relaxed around each other. Yet Ann has mixed feelings about allowing Jeremy back into her life. To have an ongoing affair with Jeremy would be against everything she believes in and has been taught by her parents. Nevertheless, her head is losing its battle to her heart. In spite of problems in the past, their love for each other is stronger than their willpower. Their relationship progresses smoothly until Jeremy finds out he is being transferred to Chicago for his job. Ann also has some news-a secret that she will eventually have to tell to Jeremy. Will Ann's revelation bring her closer to Jeremy or push him away forever?
