About the book
The marriage of Selina and Ashley Dent had ended three years ago in divorce and frustration - on her side as well as his. Now he had come dramatically back into her life - at the exact moment that her young brother had got himself into serious trouble - and it appeared that the only way she could save her brother was to give in to Ashley's insistence that they should remarry. So what choice had she? It soon became clear that he attracted her as much as he had ever done - yet had anything changed, really? For how could Selina ever manage to overcome the terrible fear that had ruined the marriage the first time?
