Let It Shine [antikvár]

Chapter One Ada Williams was not a wicked woman. In her time, she had gone through six men, amassed a fortune on the way, and lived every day to the full. Like other lonely souls, she had made mistakes -and paid for them. She had laughed and cried, and known love of the kind that comes only once in a lifetime. Then, through a flaw in her character, her foolishness, she lost him - and in so doing, she lost her world. It was a harsh lesson, and one that cut her to the quick. After that, Ada hardened her heart and vowed never to be hurt again. Now, with the closing of evening, she lay back against the pillow and for a time was lost in her memories until the single, urgent tap on the bedroom door brought her back to the present.
