ABANDONED. Rafael Released from Prison Falls in Love with Neighbor

[Hayley]

I think it was just a basic romance/suspense type book. I am almost positive that the main character's name is Rafael (or Raphael). He just got out of prison for a murder he committed while he was on drugs (I think). He lives next door to a hot but cold woman who lives with her mother. At first the woman hates him, but eventually they fall passionately in love. They get married and she gets pregnant.

I think there is also a scene where her mother dies in the place of one of them but that could be from some other book.

Would you say you read this book closer to 2007, 1997, or 1987? Was it a paper book, ebook, other format? Author male or female? Cover art or photo? What country/region and time period is it set in?

[Hayley]

I read it probably in the early 90s. It is set in present day America. It was a paperback.

Hayley, are you still looking for this or did you find it?
