No More Room for Your Passion

After three years of marriage, Elena Frost still keeps her distance in bed, and her husband John Hale eventually learns why: her heart belongs to a childhood sweetheart, and John has only been a stand-in. Elena asks for a divorce that exists only on paper so her lover's child can be officially registered, and John agrees, though he secretly plans to make the separation permanent. He leaves his job at the hospital and gets ready to go home to a prearranged marriage among the elite.
