Out of the Storm

the long version

She had no past! Leonora had awoken to discover she had no memory of her surroundings or of how she had sustained the excruciatingly painful wound to her head. She also had no memory of her past -- Leonora simply had no idea who she was! Dr. Penry Vaughan, a dark, brooding man, claimed he found her lying half-dead on the shore of his private Welsh island. He wasn't pleased by Leonora's intrusion. After all, he'd gone to the island for a couple of female-free weeks. But what he resented most of all was his growing attraction to his mysterious visitor.... This story is very HOMOPHOBIC; Leonora finds out her boyfriend was using her as a cover to hide his homosexuality and when she catches him in bed with another man, she's so traumatised, she jumps in some choppy waters and almost drowns, with her amnesia being her way of blocking out this traumatic experience ----REALLY ----is that such a horrible thing?!?!?!?! When she remembers and tells 'hero' of story what happened, she throws up while telling him and he sneers that her ex-boyfriend couldn't even be classed as a real 'man'.....very UN-politically correct, even in the early 90's
