About the book
Two young lovers seeking the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity they were never able to find in London emerge from a car in a sunlit Provençal town square. It is an idyllic setting for a passionately romantic interlude, but the dazzling light and contrasting deep shadows echoed the patter of their own life. The options Antonia faced were bleak. Toni could remain a possession of Guy Brand, her millionaire husband and the cruel sadistic life, that the business tycoon designed for her.... Or she could leave the torment of his penthouse for the arms of Nathaniel-- the brilliant young surgeon who taught her the possibiliites of real love. If she chose Nat, she could ruin his life forever. Because his professional reputation and career rested precariously on her vindictive husband's perverse whims... Wedded to an oppressive husband by fate-- prisoner to her overwhelming love by choice.
