By Sara DanielReunited lovers is common theme in many of my books. Usually, my hero and heroine were high school sweethearts or shared a high school past, as in One Night with the Bride and One Night with the Groom. However, in One Night with her Husband, the hero and heroine met and fell in love while in college. I discovered the issues shaping them and the circumstances of their relationship to be vastly different than if they’d been high school lovers. Below are my top differences. If you have any additions, I’d love to hear them. Please leave them in the comments for discussion.
Parents – Make no mistake. Parents are still part of the picture for
college students, footing bills and providing a home base for their children.
However, you’re not usually tripping over Mom as you lead your boyfriend into
your dorm room. In One
Night with the Bride,
Caroline’s parents forbid her from seeing her high school boyfriend. In One Night with her Husband,
Marcia’s parents disapproved of Adrian, but they could only express their
disapproval from a distance.
Freedom – No parents = More freedom. Not just with whom you date and
how late you stay out but whether you choose to skip class to make out by the
lagoon. In One Night with the Groom,
Luciana’s parents tried to protect her from making bad choices by keeping her
high school boyfriend from her, but at college, Marcia was free to make bad
choices, as well as accept the responsibility to fix her mistakes on her own.
Career/Future Ambition – High school students are thinking about college, trade
school or an entry level job. Career plans at this stage are usually
pie-in-the-sky dreams. That doesn’t mean they won’t become a reality. Javier
from One
Night with the Bride turned his
high school dreams into a very successful reality, but at the time the lovers
separated those dream were still only visions. In college, not only is the
student earning a degree, they are also interviewing for that first “real
world” job and making concrete plans to turn their dreams into a reality, even
if it causes them to go in the opposite direction of their true love, as Marcia
and Adrian did in One Night with her Husband.
She walked away from her marriage seven
years ago...
Marcia
Johnson always assumed her husband would follow her eventually. She’d achieve
success while she waited and prove her decision the right one. But when he
finally turns up, she’s not ready. Her career hangs in the balance, and her
weight has skyrocketed. How can she face the man she loves and show him she
made the right choice? Especially when he’s matured from a decent-looking
college student into the sexiest man she’s ever seen.
He’s
waited seven years for his wife to finally need him…
If Adrian Torres can save her business, maybe
he’ll have a shot at saving their marriage. But the woman he finds is too
competent and independent to ask him for help. She even shrugs off his touch
instead of reacting with the desire he hoped to ignite. Have the embers of
their marriage finally died? Is it time to end their relationship and move
forward?
He wants a
divorce…
Her world ripped apart, Marcia turns to 1Night
Stand to give her one more night before she lets Adrian go. She dares not hope
for more. Even Madame Eve couldn’t have the magic to save their neglected
disaster of a relationship…could she?
