Wanting Something More

July 1, 2005
Supermodel Marty Stepp hasn't always been beautiful and rich. Growing up in Millbrook, Maine, she and the other two Stepp sisters were impoverished pariahs during high school. Abby was too smart. Ellie was too plump. And, at an awkward six feet, Marty was too tall. Teased and taunted mercilessly by the other kids at school, the three siblings had only each other for friends. But Abby and Ellie found love and marriage with local boys, and Marty has decided to give up her lucrative modeling career and come home. Nathaniel Peck was a hot item in high school, not to mention a world-class jerk, but a vicious attack and near-death experience have made Nate a different person. Just the same, Marty can't forget his cruelty to her in the past, and no matter how warm Nate is, she can't bring herself to trust him. This is the perfect ending to Love's excellent Stepp sister trilogy, following " Getting What You Want" (2004) and " Wanting What You Get "(2004).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
