In the second book in the Windmere Series, Angela Harmon's husband has looted his bank employer and fled the country, along with an administrative assistant from the bank. Heading to her parent's home for refuge, Angela breaks down at the side of the road. Widower Brad Jennings traveling that part of the road discovers Angela and her children. Is it a chance occurrence? Maybe, maybe not, but her life from that moment would be a life much more like steak on the grill and poker on Saturday night than water cress sandwiches and Bridge at the club every Thursday afternoon, never dull, always to be well-lived, in the arms of a good man.
