Move over Mills and Boon, this book has it all. It has traditional morality - epitomised by Faith the academic historian still living with and financially supporting her parents. It has public duty - in the form of rich beautiful attorney Sydney who wants to run for senator. It has dressing up scenes at expensive American house parties; to-die-for prosperity, and an enormous penthouse overlooking the lake. It has torn loyalties, steaminess, stolen kisses in a hayfield, an addiction to obscure quotations, and chat up lines about hands and fingers. Plus it has monogamy and a side-bow to lesbian motherhood in the dedication of the copy I read. A real hit that's become a classic.
