賴安,麗芙暗暗崇拜迷戀他,有數年之久,直到她十七歲那一年,他終於注意到她的存在。海灘一夜,明月皎潔,他們如願地相依相屬,不幸,此事卻被雙方父母知悉,引發了風暴,賴安被迫攜同披上白紗地麗芙走向紅毯彼端,然而婚禮之後他隨即失蹤,使莉芙肝腸寸斷。在她獨力撫育雙胞胎後的八年,他竟又回來了,來履行為人夫、為人父的義務?他夠格嗎?
She had to admit her love had not died
For eight years Liv had made a life for herself and the twins. A good life, too. How could she possibly consider a reunion with Ryan now? His leaving had broken her heart, and she could never forget that--nor forgive him.
They had both changed in the separation: Liv was now a mature, beautiful, independent woman; Ryan a wealthy, successful businessman.
Her life had seemed complete without him--until his return. All Liv had to do was convince herself that it would be complete again--after Ryan had gone ....

八年前,家境富有的賴安在酒精的催化下引誘了年方十六的麗芙,在被雙方家長撞見並脅迫下無奈地迎娶麗芙進門,又在不願放棄追尋自我理想的情況下,於婚禮舉行後的一個小時內拋棄了麗芙離開。年輕純真的麗芙,甫新婚就成為棄婦還懷了雙胞胎,所幸有一位體貼善良的小叔幫忙照顧小孩和生活,總算是度過了那流言和鄙視不斷的悲慘日子。
賴安在離去八年之後返家(其實在第二年就曾回來過)想再和麗芙重修舊好,雖然麗芙自認對賴安已緣盡情絕,但卻在面對賴安之後,她還是無法逃脫愛神對她的捉弄……。
琳賽.史蒂芬女士所寫的小說著重男女情感的互動,這種久別重逢的戲碼是她最擅寫的題材,依以前讀者的胃口,會很喜歡這一味(雖然是老梗,但我也不例外)。
以早期翻譯的品質來講,文辭通暢易讀,算是本不錯的小品。
