Mrs. Anne Smythe's Healing Spa and Bathing Emporium is a
haven for fashionable women who believe the waters have
aphrodisiac properties. Yet the prim proprietress never
thinks of testing that theory-until grievously injured
Captain Stephen Chamberlin is deposited on her doorstep.
Every minute the war hero spends under her roof courts
scandal. It isn't long before she discovers that having
such a man at her mercy arouses her in ways she never
thought possible as their "therapeutic" sessions in the
hot springs have become steamy trysts Anne wishes would
never end...
Stephen thought he had reached his lowest point when the
war rendered him an invalid. He's proven wrong when his
sister and best friend leave him in the care of the
tantalizing Mrs. Anne Smythe. Yet as the healing waters
work their magic, so does the widow Smythe. Beneath her
unflappable exterior lies an alluring woman: warm, witty,
and refreshingly open to sensual experimentation. But when
mutual pleasure turns to forbidden love, can two people
outwit the forces that would see them torn apart?
