Here to Stay
Afraid of losing the only man she's ever loved, Sissy Workman kept the truth from her husband for years. She told herself she was lying for all the right reasons. Did it really matter that Elijah wasn't the father of their firstborn son? They were so happy, and he was all she'd ever wanted. Now that Elijah knows, it's changed their relationship. They're adrift, and the ties that once bound them together have loosened. Sissy can feel him pulling away--her mistake could destroy the love they've cherished over the years. The last thing Sissy wants is for the truth to set her free--from him.

Dog trainer Sissy Workman loves her husband Elijah but hid one truth from him for years out of fear he will leave. Their first born is not his. Sissy jilted someone else before marrying Elijah, but learned she was pregnant after they wed. Now he knows he did not sire their oldest when the child needed a transfusion and his blood type is unacceptable. He is outraged for several reasons including the omission she kept from him and he wonders what else she concealed. As their anniversary comes up, Sissy fears her failure will end their happy family as Elijah increasingly acts distant. Using reverse engineering, Margot Early tells the back story of the relationship between Sissy and Elijah and to a lesser degree their children. Thus the story line is character driven as Elijah struggles with what he believes is a betrayal of their trust while he and his spouse look back over their time together. Although the technique adds freshness, the use slows down the present day plot of vying for the Westminster Dog Show or fleeing to lick his wounds. Harriet Klausner
