A Myth Shattering Look At Long-Term Love Affairs "As one who has given professionals guidance in public affairs-and is well used to "Inside the Beltway Political Scandal"-it"s insightful to dip into Luann Linquist"s fascinating work. Don"t be misled by a provocative title. Her in-depth accounts should certainly be helpful to thousands. It"s akin to overhearing restaurant conversations or, at times, being underneath the psychiatrist"s couch. This is a serious work with important implications."--John Jay Daly, APR, Washington, D.C. Affairs, because of their secret nature, go unspoken. This silence has forced those involved to cope with incredibly complex problems with no support or advice. Until now. Secret Lovers is an indispensable and nonjudgmental resource that takes an unflinching look at the dynamics of long-term affairs. Linquist delves deep into our most intimate and risky of behaviors and shows us why people risk their family and status for secret lovers.
