December's wine / Linda Shaw1982

Nine years without Padgett Williams, the man who had seduced and abandoned her, had taught Leigh Vincent the world's hardest lesson: a woman can depend only on herself. Then Padgett returned, and with his laughing eyes and tender touch, he gave the lie to all she thought she knew. Suddenly she felt alive again. With him by her side she was once again willing to dare the Fates and give herself in love.
