Mystery Lover — Amanda Anderson

This is a full length novel at 40,000+ words The Feud between the Johnsons and the Emersons had been going on for over seventy-five years, so how would it ever end? When two young lovers discover passion in the dark of the night, they decide to keep their identities a secret, somehow fearing that it would ruin what they were finding with each other. The thrill of loving a stranger only made their passion burn hotter, until one is sent away to school with no way of telling the other. The distance and powerlessness almost broke Ginger Johnson, but the memories of that faithful night in the arms of her mystery lover kept her working hard to return home and regain what she had lost. She didn't know who he was and didn't care. She had felt more alive in those few stolen hours than she had ever felt in her life and she vowed to feel that way again. Carl Emerson's life had been a dreary place. He'd been forced to marry a woman he couldn't love, but he couldn't get the memory of that long ago night out of his head. It pulled him back again and again to the pond where he had loved an angel and lost her in the same night. His empty heart yearned for her until one day as if by magic she appeared again. Now they must fight against all odds to reclaim the love that they lost years before. Those they thought would stand in their way are happy to step aside, while those who should support them threatened their very existence. Can love overcome years of hatred and senseless fighting? Will the secrets that are forced into the light destroy them all? Or can two young lovers end the bitterness of two families and bind them together forever?
