The Guilty Woman

By M.L. Lexi

A tender tale of an everlasting love that defies all odds.The Guilty Woman

In the spring of 1939, Francesca Thompson meets bad boy Tommy Scott. Her attraction to Tommy is instant, as was her father’s dislike of him and their blooming romance. A top criminal lawyer, Peter Thompson, knew Tommy’s type: reckless and lawless. Worse than that, Peter knew of the brutal crime Tommy committed, and of his incarceration as a result of it.

Determined to keep his daughter from Tommy’s reach, Peter Thompson talks Francesca into studying at Stanford University—thousands of miles from her home.

When Tommy’s daily letters to Francesca go unanswered, feeling lost and heartbroken, he enlists to fight in the escalating war in Europe. Continents apart, war, and unforeseen events set Francesca and Tommy’s lives on radically divergent paths changing their lives forever.
