Sometimes Mine
Now in Paperback
Sometimes Mine
An emotionally affecting story of mid-life romance and learning to value the people in your life.
Genie Toledo is a spit-fire who married the wrong guy young, had a daughter, quickly divorced, and now, in her 40s, has filled the emotional gap by throwing herself into her work and holding friends and family at arm's length, even her college-age daughter. The only person to penetrate her thick shell is Mick Crabbe, with whom she's had a decade-long affair. . . .

The Office of Desire
Five people—Hap and Will, two doctors; nurse Alicia; office manager Brice; and receptionist Caroline—have worked together for years in a small Ohio medical office. When Will's wife leaves him and he begins an affair with Alicia, this is the first step in the disruption of not only the routine of the office, but the lives of all five people in it.

Sally, the daughter of a wealthy, doting father, is desperately homesick, while the story's narrator, Clare, who considers herself jaded and unshockable, is thrilled to be on her own.
