Commitments »

Barbara Delinsky started out her writing career creating novels for the category romance genre, partly under pseudonyms; but she has evolved into a name-brand all her own, praised by romance fans for the layered plotting and the complex characters on display in literally dozens of bestsellers.

On her Manhattan rooftop terrace, elegant Sabrina Stone looks like a society wife, except for the handicapped child in her arms. She speaks with investigative reporter Derek McGill for only a few minutes; it is long enough to tell her all she needs to know about this caring man. Sabrina next meets Derek in a maximum security prison-after he is convicted of murder. She comes to tell him she believes in his innocence, and finds him a man hardened by experience yet one who still loves her and her son But to commit herself Sabrina must finally end her marriage and begin a fight for a man's freedom that holds no guarantees, only the promise of fulfilling all of their dreams.
