The Arid Lips (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231515585)

A novel about defiance of time, duty, and a challenge to everything but the heart.
They met, they loved deeply, but life tore them apart.
Leaving their lips dry, barren... arid for a lifetime. Will fate allow them to share another kiss?
Years passed! They each lived separate lives, built families, embraced duties, gave love where they could. They are devoted spouses, dutiful parents-committed to the paths they had chosen.
Yet beneath it all, the flame never went out. The kiss withered their lips, but not their hearts.
And then, one day, the past returned-not as a memory, but as a presence. They met again.
Was it betrayal? Was it infidelity? Or was it something more complex, more human-an unspoken rebellion against the world's rigid rules?
