Air Force pilot Nate Hawkins grieves the death of his friend Scott Pierce. He feels strongly he must do something for Scott's widow, Laurel, though he fears to do so, as he has secretly loved her for what seems to him is forever. Thus he offers friendship to Laurel, pregnant with her deceased husband's child after ironically years of fertility treatments.Though Laurel mourns the loss of her husband that she loved deeply, she begins to fall in love with Nate. However, not only does Laurel feels some guilt over violating Scott's memory, Nate does not believe he is half the man her husband was. Besides inadequacy, he knows she remains ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE though Laurel tries to persuade him that there is room for remembering her love for Scott and her love for Nate in her large heart.Though the triangular relationship including a ghost has been often used in novels and this tale is not quite at the extraordinary level that Rebecca Winters normally achieves, ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE absorbs the reader through the tribulations of the lead protagonists. Fans will cherish the memory of Scott and pray that Nate overcomes his negative self-feelings to reach out for love. Laurel is a fine female lead, but her Yoda-like understanding reduces the conflict. Still a Ms. Winters' romance remains as always a pleasant read for romance fans.Harriet Klausner
