The Carlton Club

by Katherine Stone

Overview

From the life and death struggles in the gritty halls of San Francisco's most prestigious hospitals to the glittering parties thrown by the Bay Area's most wealthy and powerful, Katherine Stone weaves of rich tapestry of love, secrets, passion, and betrayal.

He could have walked over to her and held her and made love to her, but he didn't. He couldn't. He didn't know who she was anymore. She looked like the sixteen-year-old girl with whom he had fallen in love eleven years ago, but she was also the woman who had yelled at him in frustrated rage just a month before.
Mark wanted to find the old Janet, his Janet, to retrace the steps that would lead him back to her.
"Do you remember the first time we made love?" he asked.
"Of course."
"What were you thinking that night? It was a big step and we never talked about it."
"I was thinking what I always thought when you touched me," Janet said very quietly. "I was thinking, I love you."
"Janet," he whispered emotionally. But he still couldn't move to her . . .

Doctor Mark Collinsworth is a brilliant physician, dedicated to medicine and to saving lives. But his own life, his own happiness, is in great jeopardy. Many women want the sexy and tormented doctor. But there is only one woman who can make him whole.

Socialite and patron of the arts, Kathleen Jordaine has lived a charmed and golden life. But all the wealth in the world cannot buy love, and when she meets the man she loves, she must be willing to risk everything for him and their love.

Doctor Leslie Adams makes excellent decisions at the hospital, life-saving ones, but the choices she makes in her personal life have caused as much heartache as joy. And when she finally makes the right choice, the decision that will save her heart and his, secrets from the past threaten to shatter them both.
