Casey's Shadow (Silhouette Desire #177)186

An older romance novel (published in 1984), but still enjoyable. Definitely not as heartbreaking and touching as her title "Stand By Me", but still worth the time ... recommend! Description from the book back cover: HOUSE OF CARDS There was a sad shadow in Casey Delaney's green eyes, a memory of the husband who had tried to mold her into what he wanted, and who had scorned her for what she was. But time without him had helped her to cultivate a veneer of flawless self-confidence. But Casey knew her pose was a house of cards. One strong wind stirred by one strong man could destroy it. So when dazzlingly self-assured Chad Walker swept into her life, her first impulse was to run. Surely he would try to change her; if she abandoned herself to love, would she ever be able to find herself again?
