Since childhood, Ryan Donally adored Rachel Bailey, though
the brilliant, beautiful lass saw him as just another rowdy
boy. The years pulled them apart, carrying Rachel to a
place of responsibility and respect few women of her time
enjoyed ... while Ryan ascended to undreamed-of heights of
wealth and success, and bound his heart to another.
Now fate has brought them together once again -- and Rachel
sees not the boy she once spurned, but a breathtaking man
she desires. Yet Ryan has moved on and is unwilling to
forgive, and Rachel hides a secret shame that could destroy
everything she has worked for. Then, in one moment of
unrestrained passion, the walls between them tumble, and
the price they must pay is a marriage neither can afford.
But will a sensuous fire too-long resisted bring
tragedy ... or will it forge a glorious and undying love?
