"Seaside, New Jersey. Small town, USA, where everyone knows everyone else's business...or thinks they do. Even so, there's nowhere else Leigh Spenser would rather live, nowhere she'd rather raise her young son Billy. It's taken a lot of work, but Leigh has finally put memories and rumors to rest and found peace in Seaside. Then Clay Wharton comes home. Clay's estranged twin Ted - Leigh's closest friend - is dying of AIDS. Even resentments and bitterness won't keep Clay from his family now. Leigh will just have to avoid him to make certain Clay never discovers her secret. It's not until Billy's life is in danger that Leigh and Clay discover the answers they've been looking for all their lives. Answers they can only find together."--Author's website.
