A woman with no name and no memory...The two men who claim her:one with love, th
e other with fear...A dazzling tale of secret passions--and a love tragically lo
st and miraculously reborn--by the incomparable storyteller.
Mere days after As
hton Wingate's wedding to the enchanting Lierin, capricious Fate stole the Missi
ssippi plantation owner's beloved from him. Now, three years later, his carriage
has collided with a cloaked rider on horseback: a woman who bears an uncanny re
semblance to the young bride who was swallowed up by the merciless river.
She a
wakens from unconsciousness in his magnificent home with no memory of who she is
. Yet the tenderness of this noble, caring stranger who lovingly calls her "Lier
in" soon captures her heart and enflames her with wanting. Then another enters t
heir lives, threatening to destroy the happiness they have rediscovered in each
other's arms--the dark and dangerous Malcolm Sinclair, who claims the enigmatic
beauty is, in fact, his own wife, Lenore. But Ashton has sworn that he will not
lose his adored one a second time, and he will risk any peril to preserve their
newfound joy--no matter what the unremembered secrets of his lady's past ultimat
ely reveal.
