"You're trying to frighten me, Dion."

Martha's voice was uneven, trying to conceal the fact that he was succeeding. She'd been tricked into this confrontation with her husband, and his proposal amazed her.

After five years apart, she was being virtually forced to rejoin her wealthy Greek husband as his wife. Along with their small daughter, Josy.

Martha realized her feelings for Dion were as deep as ever. But how could she once again cope with Dion's strong passionate nature if getting their child back was his only reason for wanting her?

You could run, but you couldn't hide...

Linsey had fled four years earlier, after she'd caught her husband in the arms of another woman. So their son Sean had been born without Jarvis Parradine's knowing anything about him.

And when Jarvis unexpectedly strode into her life again, Linsey knew he must stay ignorant of his son if she wanted to keep Sean with her.

There was another secret she had to keep, too--the fact that she loved Jarvis now more than ever.
