Full Synopsis
The first wedding night that Lady Juliana St. Albans spent with the dark and daring Rhys Vaughan was intoxicating, the heady culmination of her new husband's driving hunger and her own awakened sensuality. When he mysteriously disappeared the next morning, she waited for him in hope and desperation. And when he was finally proclaimed dead in a shipwreck, she bitterly mourned the loss of her love.

The second wedding night that Juliana spent with Rhys Vaughan was six years later, after he returned to claim her just as she was about to wed another. This Rhys was different—bolder, harder, and convinced that she'd betrayed him. Only their blazing passion remains from their years apart. But is it enough to light their way through the maze of mystery, menace, and mistrust—to the love they once shared and would have to find again?

Contains mature themes.

"A fast-paced historical romance that not only delivers all the boldly sensual passion Jeffries’ readers have come to expect but also makes wonderful use of its refreshingly different Welsh setting." ---Booklist

"A gripping read." ---Library Journal

"The depth of [Rhys and Juliana's] emotions makes them believable characters, and their fast-paced story is intensely moving." ---Publishers Weekly

"Carmen Rose was an excellent narrator. She made the distinction between English and Welsh accents believable. And her pacing in the delivery as well as the emotions conveyed by the characters kept me listening usually longer than I intended." ---Bookworm Brandee
