The Waterfall
Matthew Beamish was a 36-year-old writer of romantic stories that were widely read throughout Europe and Scandinavia. After being devastated by the wife he had worshipped and adored divorced him, he had completely lost the will to write anymore, even though his publisher was plaguing him to finish his latest novel which had almost been completed before his wife had found someone more exciting to be with and remarry.
Wrongly, he had blamed himself for his wife’s unhappiness, as the people who bought his best-selling romances wanted to see the man who wrote them in the flesh. So invariably this had meant long times overseas on book signing tours. And Jean, his beautiful wife, loved the parties and good times that being with a famous author brought. She soon got bored being alone and searched and found another rich man who would happily spend his money on her.
So Matt, as he liked to be known, had returned to his favourite spot in Norway. A site of the most stunning splendour. A waterfall that cascaded down the mountain that was situated in between a forest of trees of all descriptions, the colours of which any artist could paint a masterpiece from. It had been here that he had found the inspiration to write his stories.
Now he was hoping to get back the will to write once more. But he could not get the picture of his darling ex-wife from his mind and more and more turned to the bottle to escape from that reality.
On this trip, he was to meet Dawn who was on a computer course in Oslo, and on meeting him for the first time she was instantly smitten, although at the time he had shown no interest in her. Thus started a battle between two very beautiful women to claim this gentle giant of a man, who, unaware of his own power to love a woman more tenderly than any other man could, felt that he needed his Jean back to make his life once more complete. And he would be able to write once more. So he planned to return to England just in case she was not happy with her new husband, and try to win her back.
Then follows a battle of wits between the gentle loving Dawn and the devious grasping ex-wife, Jean, who just wanted to divorce her new husband whose business had failed and get Matt back. Good old steady Matt who once more would give her the life of luxury she wanted and had been used to. Dawn, who was determined to make Matt fall in love with her, had learned what Jean was up to and was determined to follow him back to England and claim Matt for her own.
