Alice Mckinley novels

Hi, I just want to say I’m a HUGE fan of the Alice books and I just wanted to ask something only you would know, Was Patrick really in love with Alice the whole time they were married? Even though he was tempted by another woman, were they really Soulmates? I hope to get an answer back soon, your writing has touched my heart and soul and helped me through life! Thank you Mrs. Naylor! ❤

Yes, they were.  And Patrick showed his love for her in resisting the attraction of the other woman because he simply would not do anything that would cause Alice grief.  The very fact that he could tell her about the other woman and his attraction showed they were soulmates.  No big secrets.
