Calculated Risk: Sarah's Child / White Lies
Sarah's Child
Sarah Harper had loved Rome Matthews silently for years. She'd seen him marry her best friend, then lose his wife and sons in a tragic accident. Years later, when he turned to her for comfort and made her his wife, Sarah felt her world was at last complete.
Only one thing could have made her happier: to have Rome's baby. But that was denied to her, because Rome dared not risk losing another child. Then fate intervened to bring Sarah the child she desperately wanted, a child Rome couldn't face, though it might mean losing Sarah - the woman he loved.
White Lies
You don't argue with the FBI. so when they summoned Jay Granger to identify her gravely injured, heavily bandaged ex-husband, she agreed to keep a bedside vigil.
Strangely, even unconscious, Steve Crossfield wasn't at all like the husband she remembered. As he struggled toward awareness, he demonstrated a strength of character the old Steve had lacked. Ironically, Jay was more drawn to him than ever.
When Steve finally awoke, Jay had a unique chance to recapture - and even embellish - the past. But would the new Steve ever share her cherished memories?

This is two stories, both about taking a chance in life...
In "Sarah's Child" Sarah had been in love with Roman Matthews since she first met him - but he fell in love with her best friend and married her. Years later, Roman has lost his wife and sons in a tragic accident and turns to Sarah, still a good friend to him, for comfort. They marry, but their relationship is held back by a lack of communication between them. Will they ever find true happiness together?
In "White Lies" Jay becomes embroiled in the secret world of the FBI when they ask her to identify her ex-husband, who is lying unconscious and gravely injured in a hospital bed. She still loves the man - that's not why they separated - and agrees a bedside vigil while the FBI picks up the tab. She was leaving her job anyway, and no-one is going to miss her. But when he awakens, he has no memory, of himself or Jay.
As I've found each Linda Howard book that I've read so far, this was a good romp in someone else's fantasy, and a good read.
