I love Lani Diane Rich's books usually, but I strongly recommend a pass on this one. The heroine is annoying and --worse in my view -- becomes boring after a bit. She is so self-centered and self-absorbed that I was wishing Walter would just give up on her and find someone better. I also found his attraction to her unbelievable. I finally put it down half way through, totally disinterested in the fate of these two. In fact, the only thing that kept me reading to the half-way point was the great dialogue of the secondary characters. Ms. Rich has written some terrific books since this one; stick to those and give this one a miss!
