If the narrator, Oliver Hartmann, hadn't been walking through Central Park one glorious October afternoon, he'd never have caught the ball. Nor would he have caught the heart of the man whose young son lobbed the long-distance pass. But Oliver was there, and accepting a new romance seemed almost as easy as letting the ball fall into his arms. Too easy? Surely Oliver had earned a chance to mend his broken heart and fill it with a new love. And yet? When his younger sister and her child come to live with him, Oliver discovers new responsibilities that claim his attention and distract him from his hopes and fears about his new relationship. He has to learn-gradually-what life has in store for him. Old loves, new loves, family, career. He's caught up in a great swirl of events that include a funeral, court cases, even danger. And lots of steamy sex, of course. And by the time Oliver figures out his future, LOVE OBSESSED has earned its title.
