SAND CASTLES 1988 ISBN:051700061X Their love defied convention... Laura Sheridan epitomized the ethereal beauty, grace, and opulence of turn-of-the-century New York society. Yet beneath her silk-skinned polish lay a burning love defying logic and discretion - an aching, forbidden desire that threatened the very bedrock she built her solid family life upon. Christopher Warren's passion for Laura rivaled the brilliance of his architectural vision. Raised in an orphanage, he was welcomed as a gifted artist - but not an equal - in the gracious mansions of Fifth Avenue and Gramercy Park. If he could reshape the skyline, why not work the same magic on society's inviolable, unwritten codes? Enslaved by desire, divided by rules they cannot obey, Laura and Christopher are unexpectedly enmeshed in a startling triangle that threatens to destroy their fragile happiness.

And Sarah's refusal was couched in very unflattering terms! But when Anthony later proved a tower of strength in very dangerous circumstances, Sarah began to wonder if she might not have been too hasty?
