Forever

In his eagerly awaited follow-up to Until, Timmothy B. McCann brings back Drew Staley and Betty Robinson, the unforgettable couple readers fell in love with, along with a memorable cast of characters who enrich and complicate their lives.

Drew, a handsome financial analyst grieving over the death of his fiancee, had found a soulmate in Betty, the bright and beautiful lawyer who made him believe in love again. But now, he and Betty are starting to question their hasty wedding. Overwhelmed by personal and professional burdens, a cold alienation is growing between them -- while another woman waits in the wings.

Meanwhile Jacqui Jordan, Betty's fun-loving friend, finds herself longing for the security of a settled life and the chance to start a family. But she's torn between two very different men: her drop-dead gorgeous but commitment-phobic boyfriend, and the steady, stable and attractive new man in her life.

Told as two interwoven stories that unfold over the course of a year, "Forever" is an exquisite portrait of ordinary people struggling to make mature decisions and stand by love when it is perhaps easier to leave.
