Scheherazade: Confessions of a Romance Addict Dorothy Larco

Publisher Marketing: Why might an attractive, intelligent, likable young woman get herself into a series of unhappy relationships? Drew has fallen in love with Annette at first sight and is sure they belong together, and he is desperate to know. He begs her to tell him about her experiences, and so, like the Scheherazade of 1001 Nights, she tells stories. Is she capable of falling in love with someone who loves her, wants her, is kind to her? She must find the answer for herself. They meet on a cruise ship, explore several Mediterranean cities together, become intimate. But twelve days are not enough for Drew to win Annette's love, and she gives him no hope for the future. Part Two tells their separate stories: Annette continues her study of Flamenco dancing in Spain, then has a passionate affair in New York. Drew goes back to California and later studies Spanish in Guatemala, where he meets a woman he likes...but he still longs for Annette. Both of them have life-changing experiences in the year after the cruise, but do these experiences confirm their separate paths or bring them together after all?
