Long presumed dead, antiquities dealer Brand Noble has finally clawed his way back to New York City. Only to find his wife, Clea, pregnantβ¦and engaged to another man? She hadn't wasted any time in moving on. It will not do. Brand will have her backβno matter what.
Clea had held out to the bitter end before tearfully having Brand declared dead. Now he's jumped to conclusions about her condition, and his unwillingness to believe her explanation is unbearable.
She will not be reclaimedβor so she tells herself. Even as her resistance melts under his scorching caresses.
