Used book – The Echo of the Secret, Tara Taylor Quinn, Anne Svensen

Sophie is having a secret affair with Duane Koch, a renowned lawyer. Secret, because Duane is running for Senate and cannot be seen with a mistress. Marriage, he believes, would be the only way for them to openly pursue their passion. However, Sophie hesitates to commit: while Duane is the love of her life, she despises the slanderous and overly glamorous social circles his career forces him to frequent. Would she feel comfortable in the spotlight, by his side? Or would she, on the contrary, hinder his ambitions? An unexpected event will force Sophie's decision: she is pregnant. Thrown into confusion, the young woman desperately chooses to give up on this impossible love. And, to disappear from Duane's life, to forever dissuade him from finding her, she invents a terrible lie...
