He was a rising star on the research-academic scene, and she was his partner, his mate, his Eve in the Garden of Eden they had created with their two children. Life was grand.

Then one cold and blustery evening Abby found herself in a tacky, disreputable roadside inn, and there met the Snake who spoiled Paradise. Mike was brawny, rugged, achingly male. Abby had never...could never... She did - and life was even grander.

She loved the sound of "Abby and Mike" on her lips; she loved the feel of him, the strength of him, the earthiness of him. And oh how she loved what she thought she could never...would never. THIS was truly Eden: a husband whom she cared for and who cared for her; a man who made her explode helplessly with love and desire and wanting.

But nothing perfect lasts forever - not even in Paradise.
