Jessie''s true problem lies with her poor self-image and her crippling codependent behavior. That''s why when Jake McGrady falls hard for her, she puts him off, until, in a moment of weakness, she ends up seeking him out. It then takes a dramatic confession from Charlie to lift the fog enough for Jessica to peer out and see clearly if only for a moment.

Set in present day Crown Point, Indiana, a small Midwestern town where Valentino was married back in 1923. The inspiration for this story came from two sources. First, I grew up in Crown Point and had always been fascinated by the fact that the cinema's first male sex symbol had been married in my hometown. And second, that there were a few times in my dating life when I could have benefited from the help of a great lover. I am currently seeking literary representation and would like to send you a copy of THE GREAT LOVER for your consideration. Sincerely, Noah Burczyk Wga reg# 1077522
