Dear Kate... — Marcia Miller

Kate Mason has everything--beauty, a successful career in advertising, a lovely apartment overlooking San Francisco Bay -- everything but someone to love... until the night she meets Rade Conners. Kate loses her heart to tall, gray-eyed young Dr. Connors. But their romance is still new when an emergency takes him away to Rome, to the hospital bedside of his older brother, Jeff. Anxiously, Kate waits for news, and finally it comes: a letter from Rade. A letter that denies their love -- "I won't hold you to your declaration, just as I know you won't hold me to mine." A letter that mentions another woman, Nan... Jeff's widow. A letter that shatters Kate's perfect world...
