About the book

THE BACHELOR... The way Rachel Howland saw it, Noel Magnus, wealthy publisher and New York's most eligible bachelor, had been seduced--by a legendary black opal and the lure of adventure. To conquer the Arctic, Magnus had traded Manhattan's elegant ballrooms and glittering luxury for the brutal life of an explorer--and even the passion Rachel had so willingly shared with him was no match for that... ...AND HIS WIFE Running her father's saloon on remote Herschel Island, Rachel had clung to her dreams of civilized society for years--until Magnus arrived and Rachel allowed herself to believe those dreams might come true. But when Magnus's promises proved empty, Rachel decided to claim happiness the only way she knew how. She would go to New York alone, introducing herself not only as Magnus's wife, but as his widow. After all, Magnus would never come back.
