Loving Rebecca Mrs Patricia Hooton

Publisher Marketing: What circumstances could lead to a young couple passionately in love being separated by the Atlantic Ocean And What circumstances could lead them to come face to face again after a year apart. This is a debut novel by Patricia Hooton and follows the, 'will they, won't they', passionate relationship between Mark and Rebecca, from the academia at Oxford University to the quiet peaceful village life in the Cotswolds tourist area and then to the American Deep South area of the picturesque and historical town of Charleston in South Carolina. Mark arrived at Oxford University from the University of South Carolina to collaborate on a research paper with an absent Rebecca and nobody seemed to know why she was absent. However, three weeks later, she walked in and it was love at first sight as they worked closely together. Although Rebecca wore a wedding ring there was no mention of a husband. It wasn't long before her estranged and abusive husband, Jeremy, showed up at the university to argue with Rebecca, but Mark was there to comfort her and so the passionate relationship started. Tragedy followed a passionate night of love as a broken hearted Mark immediately disappeared back to America and Rebecca was left to pick up the pieces of her own broken life and deal with the secrets that Jeremy had kept hidden. Then one day Mark and Rebecca suddenly come face to face and have to deal with the unsuing consequences.
