THE PROMISE OF SPRING Despite rain, mudslides, and avalanches in the West, deadly storms across the South and Midwest, and four Nor'easters in the East, spring really did arrive on schedule, and now that it's here, it's finally beginning to show, not only in nature but the world of romance as well. Just as spring is a time of beginnings, themes of hope and fresh starts are popular in the romance genre. Whether it's a heroine running from her past toward a new life, a couple reunited after years apart, or an individual turned in an unexpected direction, the concept that change is possible, with the dream of better things to come, is irresistible--and the inherent promise of the season.
