Wild Rhapsody
Hart, Shirley
Tall, lean, and powerful, he towered over her--Ross Leyton, the man who had put an end to all her childish, innocent dreams....

The Thousand islands--was it a thousand years ago, or only ten? She had been seventeen that summer, a girl who believed she couldn't live without his love. And yet she had. Anne Runford had settled into her life in Upstate New York A gifted pianist, she had given up her dreams of a concert career and devoted herself to teaching music. She had given up her dreams of a consuming love and agreed to many Michael. But from the moment Ross Leyton reappeared, she realized that she had accepted nothing. That she had been waiting in cold, passionate fury... in burning anticipation. That her whole life had been held in abeyance, waiting for this moment-- for his kiss... for his touch-- to begin.
