Three loves Have I

This book was written in 1976 as Other Lips Have Loved You. 20 yr-old Lyn fell for the 'if you love me you'll prove it' line. Only this time it was with a man that was already married. Although she didn't find out about Roger being married until they reached their weekend love nest, she was appalled that he would expect her to have no problem with him not only being married, but he wasn't going to be able to get a divorce without having proof. Like what they were about to do. When Lyn rejected him, Roger went for a drive saying he would be back with she came to her scenes. Only he didn't he was involved in a car accident, and he was killed. 18 months later Lyn meets Mark Colman, he is a prig, a self-righteous judgemental, prig of a man who thinks he is above doing wrong. After they are engaged Lyn finds the woman Madeline Vallon, an seemingly understanding woman she talked to at the inn that was to be the love nest of Roger and Lyn, just happens to be next door neighbor of Mark. Unlike so many books where the woman keeps the truth to herself until the evil woman tells her secret to the man she loves, Lyn confesses her slip of judgement to Mark. He reacts as if he was the injured party. They break their engagement, but before she can tell her older sister Betty she has a crisis in her life. Her beloved husband Gerry has been injured and she must go to him in Hong Kong. Lyn tells Betty she will take care of Peter and Elizabeth Betty's kids, not knowing that their engagement is broken Betty asks Mark to help Lyn look after her kids. He moves them to his country home and there Lyn meets David Vallon, he is an invalid, he is just waiting to die. Until tiny Elizabeth takes him in hand, wraps him around her little finger and won't let him go. When Elizabeth toddles into the street and a car almost hits her, David saves her life by getting up out of his wheel chair, and running to her rescue. Now Lyn is concerned about David and how his cold wife will take to his being well again... From the back of the book: 'The episode with Roger had been brief and tragic-but Lyn had loved him, and it had taken her a long time to recover from the guilt and unhappiness of it all. Then she met Mark Colman and fell in love again. But Lyn's second love ended as unhappily as the first, when Mark found out about Roger. Once again Lyn is alone. At least, though, she now had the children to love-her sister's children, whom she had promised to look after while their parents were abroad. But when Lyn had made that promise she had had no idea that the children's other guardian was going to be the very man who had once loved and now despised her.'
