  She wanted her husband alive…
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Casey's heart overflowed with joy
  
  
  the day she said "I do" to Reid Lomax. In the rosiness of a whirlwind
  
  
  courtship, life with a world champion power-boat racer seemed so glamorous.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Until her brother's
  
  
  near fatal accident, on the eve of her honeymoon—in the very sport that her
  
  
  new husband loved and fully intended to pursue.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The risk to Casey's dreams of
  
  
  "forever" was clear, and in her young determined heart, so was the
  
  
  solution. Reid would have to choose—between his passion for racing and his
  
  
  passion for her.

  the electric lights that glowed in the darkness, trying to make out whether
  she
  
  
  was near her station yet, but nothing looked familiar. She sat back with a
  
  
  sigh, wishing she was home. Just about everything that could go wrong
