Celebration - Large Print Author:Fern Michaels The story of one woman's life -- the betrayal that nearly destroys her, the love that helps her heal, and the struggle to find the truth about herself and the man she thought she knew... — Wealthy heiress Kristine Kelly made her husband her whole world. An only child who lost both parents during her first year at college, she had turned... more » to high school sweetheart Logan Kelly to protect and care for her. Under the spell of his charisma, she followed him around the globe during his military career -- as his adoring wife and the mother of his three children. Kristine didn't see what everyone else did: that handsome, sexy Logan Kelly was a manipulator and a user.
But one cold December, Kristine got a chilling wake-up call. As Logan's final tour of duty was winding down, Kristine returned alone with their children to Leesburg, Virginia, to the grand old house and acreage she inherited from her parents. Logan promised to join them in a few weeks, for a Christmas that was to usher in their life as civilians. Only Logan never came back. Instead he vanished, along with the eight-million-dollar trust fund Kristine had naively given him the power of control. Bewildered, her heart shattered, all Kristine had left of twenty years of marriage was memories.
Just when Kristine's life was at its lowest point, banker Aaron Dunwoodie came into her life to offer passion, a strong shoulder to lean on, and a relationship to believe in. But a woman once fooled is twice wary, and very vulnerable. There were still to many questions Kristine needed to answer before she could commit her heart again: what really happened to Logan... what did she truly want for herself... and what would she do if Logan -- a dangerous, seductive, and yet irresistible man -- walked back into her life?
The story of a woman who faces an unthinkable deception, of the man who wants to destroy her, and of the one decision that will satisfy her deepest need for both justice and love.« less
