Lakeford Affair is a gentle romance novel about love, desire, friendship and family; it's not at all like 50 Shades of Gray. Lakeford Affair revolves around Tristin Marlowe's journey of hope and splendor. We see how her decisions change her life and outlast her battles as she is thrust back into the social limelight, the affluent life style she was born into, the life style she was so uncomfortable with, and finds herself entangled in a power struggle between the unscrupulous Forsythe family and the handsome, affluent Hamilton Charles. As she struggles to maintain her perspective, the reader shares the heartbreak of a crippling auto accident, the fervor of a senate seat battle, and the splendor of an autumn wedding at Lakeford.
