Summary:

Glen is in love with Barbara. Beautiful, kind, loving and sophisticated, Barbara is everything a man could want or need in a woman. But what if that manʼs wants and needs ran to the extreme? Glen has a terrible secret which threatens to destroy all of his hopes for a happily-ever-after with his lady, for how can she handle the idea of another woman in Glenʼs life? And what will she do when she finds out that Glen himself is the other woman?
