Ronnie and Rita,
single work
novella
'Ronnie Spooner is middle-aged and single. He’s no-one; a loner who has mowed lawns for a living ever since he was a boy.
'When he meets Rita, they fall in love, and want nothing more than a family of their own.
'Too bad it isn’t possible. Or is it?
'What Rita asks him to do is wrong. Terribly wrong. But compared to the emptiness of Ronnie’s life so far, even wrong seems better than nothing.'
