About the book
AN INDEPENDENT WIFE... ...and determined to stay that way--that was Sallie Jerome Baines. Her husband Rhydon Baines had broken her heart and once, she had vowed, was enough. Then fate brought them together again, and the new Sallie fell for Rhy just as the old had done. His was the fire, the power--the love--that could weld a heart once broken, into a seamless whole and leave a woman once hurt, basking in passion fulfilled.
