Аннотация

It was 1953. A time of innocence. A time when the world seemed full of possibilities. And all the rules were about to change.Michael was a streetwise Brooklyn boy heading south to join the Navy and become a man. But he was about to learn more about life than he's ever imagined. Eden was beautiful, mysterious — the perfect instructor in the art of making love, in sexual pleasure and in courage. But her past was full of dangerous secrets that would haunt her forever. LOVING WOMEN is an unforgettable novel of honor and passion, heartbreak and desire, and one man's coming of age
