About the book

Angie de Calvhos meant every word of the vows she shared with husband, Roque, at the altar. Pity he didn't return her sincerity... Expecting happy-ever-after, instead Angie found herself going through a mortifyingly public separation! Now Angie has finally built up the courage to put an end to her time as a de Calvhos wife once and for all. But she's forgotten the magnetic pull that devilish Roque possesses. And as the past collides with the present, Angie realizes she owes it to Roque-and herself-to give Roque another chance"
