SECRET DESIRES
By: J. L. Regen
The Plot:
Nothing in Margo Simmons‟s life
comes easy. She can‟t claim the inheri-
tance on a condo apartment her uncle
has left to her until she is gainfully em-
ployed in a job for a year. She meets the
man of her dreams, but anguishes over a
loving relationship because he is still
emotionally tied to his deceased wife.
With great difficulty, she becomes the
guardian to a recently-orphaned child she
had been tutoring. Margo evolves from
an insecure, newbie elementary teacher
into a woman determined to fulfill the secret desires locked in
her heart.
An Excerpt
Margo Simmons gripped the edges of the leather chair, wait-
ing for details from the family lawyer about her Uncle Harry‟s
death. She hoped it would be shorter and less painful than the
reading of her father‟s will.
An older gentleman extended his hand. “I‟m sorry your
mother couldn‟t be here.”
Margo looked up from her reflections to acknowledge him.
“Thanks, Mr. Steinberg.”
“You‟ve grown into a lovely young woman.”
Margo blinked back tears at memories of good times shared
with Uncle Harry. “Not so young. I‟m twenty-three.”
The portly man squeezed himself into a swivel chair and
peered at her over wire-rimmed bifocals. “I‟m ancient compared
to that number.”
