Parris Simmons has spent the last ten years in hiding, fearful of her ex-husband's deadly threats and avoiding her ex-lover, Martin Cole. Forced to flee West Palm Beach because of another man's evil designs, Parris never forgot her passion-filled nights with Martin-or the precious gift he left her. Now it's all over, and Martin has found her again. When he offers her the protection of his name, Parris agrees to marry him-and prays the past can finally be laid to rest. Yet even as desire reignites old passions in Martin's sensual embrace, a dangerous decade-old secret threatens to destroy all that Parris and Martin cherish most and puts their newfound love to the most perilous test of all.
