SECRET DESIRES By: J. L. Regen
The Plot:
Nothing in Margo Simmons ‟ s life comes easy. She can ‟ t claim the inheritance on a condo apartment her uncle has left to her until she is gainfully employed in a job for a year. She meets the man of her dreams, but anguishes over a loving relationship because he is still emotionally tied to his deceased wife. With great difficulty, she becomes the guardian to a recently-orphaned child she had been tutoring. Margo evolves from an insecure, newbie elementary teacher into a woman determined to fulfill the secret desires locked in her heart.
An Excerpt
Margo Simmons gripped the edges of the leather chair, waiting for details from the family lawyer about her Uncle Harry ‟ s death. She hoped it would be shorter and less painful than the reading of her father ‟ s will.
An older gentleman extended his hand.“ I ‟ m sorry your mother couldn ‟ t be here.”
Margo looked up from her reflections to acknowledge him.
“ Thanks, Mr. Steinberg.”“ You ‟ ve grown into a lovely young woman.” Margo blinked back tears at memories of good times shared with Uncle Harry.“ Not so young. I ‟ m twenty-three.”
The portly man squeezed himself into a swivel chair and peered at her over wire-rimmed bifocals.“ I ‟ m ancient compared to that number.”
