Cove of Promises

by Margaret Rome

With her schooldays in Paris behind her, Elise could hardly wait for her return to Jamaica to be reunited with Jacques, from whom she had been parted for too many years. Jacques, her childhood sweetheart, to whom she would soon be married. But Elise was to find reality very different from the dreams she had cherished. Jacques, it seemed, had not shared her wish to be married; he looked on the whole thing as a figment of her childish imagination. If he married anyone at all, it would be the glamorous Camilla Nelson. Hadn't Elise better forget the whole thing?
