On a ship bound for Portugal with her children and the man
she loves, Rose should be blissfully happy. Except Richard
treats her like she’s made of porcelain. She’s recovered
from the childbed fever that nearly killed her, yet he won’t
share her bed and it’s driving her mad.
To win him back body and soul, she resolves to use every
wicked, seductive trick he’s taught her. Until a possible
attempted murder on board puts them both on alert for the
trouble that seems to dog their every move.
Richard is almost relieved to have something to investigate.
He loves Rose too much to risk losing her—which is exactly
what could happen if he gets her pregnant again. When it
becomes clear a series of accidents is no such thing, they
realize an old enemy has caught up with them.
It’s imperative for Richard and Rose to work together to
defeat this foe, but their new distance could prove their
undoing. Especially when Mother Nature conspires to make
them endure one last, desperate test of their love…
Warning: The earth is moving for Richard and Rose, but this
time it’s not entirely their fault.
