amo, amas, amat...

At thirty-three, Mary Cate Randolph still believes in fairy tales. She's been searching for Prince Charming all her life, but after she was date-raped by her last boyfriend, she is understandably cautious. When she meets tennis pro, Nick Hamilton, at her Asheville country club, she thinks she's found the perfect man. He's charming and intelligent, but not sexually aggressive. No wonder. It's 1983 and unbeknownst to Mary Cate, a naïve homophobic, Nick is a closeted homosexual. Thus begins a tangled web of love, deception, and discovery that ultimately leads to Mary Cate's transformation and realization that true love is far different from the fairy tale version.
