Tender Is the Night — Helen Carter

Forceful, dynamic Chris Carpenter fascinates Toni Kendall. But she wants more than a fling, and a man wilds named his boat The Siren, his dinghy The Flirt, and his cat Romeo hardly seems ready for commitment! Moreover, Chris is her superior at Lytel Aerospace, and knows the dangers of mixing work and romance...

But an encounter in a dark parking lot brings them together...and a tempestuous kiss opens the floodgates of desire. Tentatively, tenderly, they reach for a deeper understanding, despite persistent obstacles at work and home. In the soft, enveloping darkness, fulfillment binds them together. But in the bright light of day, is torn by anger and confusion...
