Come the Vintage
Mather, Anne
Her situation was impossible, Ryan realized, more impossible than even Alain could imagine.

What had he said? "We are married, Ryan. I suggest we attempt to salvage something from the wreck."

If all he could offer was friendship for appearances' sake, there was no future for either of them.

Hero: Alain de Beaunes
Heroine: Ryan Ferrier
