Book Description
Sheila Larksdon had all the comforts most women wanted. Attractive, married, wealth, a beautiful home in the Atlanta suburbs, and her own business. Except she wasn’t satisfied in her bedroom where she pined for more from her husband, Mark. Asked to assist a female relative of Mark’s, sell her home and buy a new one, Sheila readily agreed. But it required spending long weekends away from home. It was during those weekends that Sheila and the relative began an illicit affair that altered Sheila’s life forever. A senseless act of betrayal brought Sheila to her senses, and she ended the relationship before it ruined her marriage. Years later, after Mark’s death, Sheila left her life in Atlanta behind and moved in with Regina, the woman Sheila had an affair with, and the two reignited their love affair. Content in her life as a lesbian, Sheila made plans to take on new challenges and make new memories. But fate intervened, and Regina was fatally shot and killed during a robbery. Alone again, Sheila longed for human companionship and began engaging in affairs with men and women. One was A New Year’s Eve dinner date that ended tragically for Sheila and almost lost her life. A chance encounter with Charlotte, a woman from her past, led to the women forming a bond. Both shared intimate things from their past, and the bond strengthened into love. Sheila saw a future with Charlotte and began a life with her designed to last forever. But, did anything last forever for Sheila?
