Itd been a couple years since Sybil filed for divorce. As an attorney married to a surgeon, she found herself pregnant. Dr. Nicholas Amaraz knew it wasnt his child, but he didnt want to end his marriage either. He didnt believe in divorce. He lived alone, and his days were long and somewhat lonely until the day he walked into Pepes Restaurant. The cuisine was impressive, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the owner, Peter, was an inquisitive, congenial and faith-based individual who learned that faith-based Dr. Amaraz was also an excellent chef. One evening, as he was leaving Pepes, Dr. Amaraz crossed paths with a lady whose etiquette was sorely lacking. Intrigued, he asked Peter about her. Peter was well aware of Baileys shortcomings, but he also knew she had secrets. Dr. Amaraz persisted, and eventually he and Bailey began a rocky relationship. When Dr. Amaraz was invited to a medical symposium in Israel, everything changed. The lives of Peter, Bailey, and Nicholas could, or would, never be the same again.
