Young Josh Wagner and Ellen Lebouef had been totally in love. After a few romantic days in New Orleans, they decided to get a tattoo on their upper, inner thigh so they would always remember it. Josh's family had money and Ellen's did not. Ellen had hopes of going to nursing school someday though and making something of herself. Josh was in college and would follow his father's footsteps. The two planned to marry someday soon. However, Josh's father, Matt, took it upon himself to step in. Matt did not care for Ellen's family, even though Ellen was a perfect young lady. Believing he was doing something his son would thank him for someday, Matt and his best friend, Jim Coriell, interfered.
When Josh learned that Ellen had disappeared and did not want Josh to know why or where she went, he immediately confronted his father. But Matt and Jim convinced Josh that they had nothing to do with it. Heartbroken, Josh entered the willing arms of Jim's daughter, Kristin. When they wed, Matt and Jim were thrilled! The two best friends and business partners were now brother-in-laws. Better still, Josh's best friend was Blake who was Kristin's brother. So those two best friends also became brothers! (Sounds like a juicy soap opera doesn't it?)
Now to make the plot even better. Only Kristin and her mother knew the deep secret concerning the twins. Kristin had purposely let Josh think she was pregnant by him, thus the marriage. However, someone else fathered the twin girls. That secret would hold until the girls were almost adults. From there on, things get even more interesting! Do not think that Ellen is out of the picture for good and expect quite a few more surprises. But that is all the synopsis that I dare give.
**** Author Morris L. Striplin has done and excellent job in creating a fascinating story set in Backwater, Louisiana. Men, do not go thinking this is soap opera junk. It just has a lot of twists and turns like a good soap or drama movie has. But no rednecks, no kissing cousins, no JUNK. Both men and women will LOVE this tale. The ending is especially satisfying! Morris L. Striplin has made a fan with me and I look forward to his next stunning release. ****

Another one of Striplin\'s great novels. A true romance right from the heart of the bayou in Louisiana. A young couple in love and the struggles they have to stay together - you end up experiencing what they are feeling - disappointment, love, loss, confusion - it\'s all too surreal. A great book for any romance fan.
