Forever and Ever
by Patricia Gaffney

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Saving Graces and Flight Lessons comes Book II of the Wyckerley Trilogy...

Sophie Deene is every bit her father’s daughter—proud, fiercely independent...yet bound by the constraints of convention. When she takes over her father’s copper mine upon his death and finds herself wildly attracted to the handsome, insolent Cornishman she has hired as foreman, she refuses to risk everything for an unsuitable marriage...

Embittered by past tragedy and burdened by dark secrets, Connor Pendarvis lives only to destroy the belle of Wyckerley. But even as he begins to tear apart Sophie’s world, Connor finds himself falling in love with her... and fighting a passion that promises to engulf them both forever and ever...

Originally published April 1996 in mass market paperback by Topaz and reissued April 2003 in trade paperback by NAL.

Patricia Gaffney's Bio

Patricia Gaffney began her writing career with the publication of Sweet Treason, a historical romance set in revolutionary Scotland. Eleven romance novels later, she tried something different—The Saving Graces, a story of women's friendships, that ended up spending 17 weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers List.

Circle of Three, Flight Lessons, and The Goodbye Summer followed, all bestsellers that established Gaffney as a premier mainstream fiction writer.

Her new book is Mad Dash, the story of a happy marriage in trouble. It's due out in Spring 2008.

Gaffney, who lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, is currently at work on a novel about a man who changes his life when he finds out he's dying—then finds out he isn't. Working title: On Second Thought.
