Season of Regret

THE BRIDE WORE BLACK: SORROWFUL, SEVERE, SEDATE BLACK, BUT BIG GUS HEINRICH KNEW THE COLOR WAS THE ONLY THING SEDATE, OR HALFWAY RESPECTABLE ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER'S WEDDING DRESS. A SPIRITED TEENAGER, GILLIAN HEINRICH IS PREGNANT, ABANDONED BY HER ONE-TIME LOVER, AND FACING THE SCORN OF A 1950'S SMALL TOWN. FEARING THE DISDAIN FOR HIS ONLY CHILD, GUS BRIBES HIS RANCH HAND, CHARLIE BARNES, TO WED HIS REBELLIOUS, UNWILLING DAUGHTER. HAVING ALWAYS LUSTED AFTER THE FIERY GILLIAN, CHARLIE READILY AGREES, NEVER REALIZING HE'S SEALED HIS OWN MISERABLE FATE IN THE SEASON OF REGRET.
