Juliana has believed that Rhys is dead and finally she agrees to marry someone else but Rhys shows up in her engagement party and refuses an annulment, instead forcing Julianna to return to him.

There was also a secondary romance featuring Julianna's maid and Rhys's friend. Their love story was also quite wonderful and makes the plot more interesting.

STORMSWEPT is a revised version of the previously published book by Sabrina Jeffries she had written as Deborah Martin. This is the story of deceptions, betrayal, anger and passion. The characters as absolutely amazing! I loved Juliana although I was annoyed with Rhys at times due to his stubbornness on not wanting to see through Juliana's perspective. Still I loved this book and couldn't put it down. Thank you Sabrina Jeffries for writing another amazing book!
