How could she have let him kiss her?

Besides her husband, no one had ever kissed Jessica until Matthew Sinclair did. And after seven years of coldness in a desperately unhappy marriage, she was shocked to find herself stirring in response to this stranger's lips, gravitating to the warmth of his arms.

But she was a wife and mother, and Matthew was her husband's boss. There could be no future for them.

Then her husband was killed, and suddenly Jessica was torn--between wanting to be loved and fearing another marriage as painful as her first.
