About the book
Divorce vs. Desire Three years ago Adam Carmichael had walked out on Maggi when she needed him most. Now he was back, to pick up their marriage where he'd left off--or so he thought! Maggi's first reaction was to finalize their divorce, but Adam refused pointblank. Maggi became furious--not with Adam but with herself, because, to her dismay, part of her was relieved! Torn between divorce and desire, Maggi knew she should follow her head, not her heart. But Adam wasn't going to let her go without a fight.
