Books like Summer Storm by Joan Wolf
Chris was a struggling actor and Mary a struggling scholar, but their marriage was a perfect, passionate union -- until the glitter of Hollywood and a dazzling starlet stole Chris away.
At the time when she needed him most, he betrayed and failed her, and she swore never to see him again.
Chris became a world-famous actor, and Mary a respected professor, and only in the darkness of the movie theater did she allow herself to think of him.
Then, in the flash and glare of reporters' cameras, they met again, and the smoldering love reignited. They had never officially divorced. Had he come back to reestablish their marriage... or end it irrevocably?
