Flights of Fancy

1984

Randy Waring had always been prone to flights of fancy. And at the center of them all—as her imaginary dragon slayer, knight in shining armor, even marauding pirate—was young, idealistic Oliver Adams. Although he pledged undying love, Oliver's own dreams eventually took him from Randy's side. Many years later, he returns to her in New England, steadier, more mature, but no less virile and exciting. He's finally ready to settle down... and wants Randy as his wife! But she has long been a responsible banker, and now she craves real adventure, not domesticity. Undaunted, Oliver sets out to fulfill her wildest fantasies in brand-new—and totally unexpected—ways....
