About the book

She desperately wanted to believe in his love

Secretly Jaime still regretted having walked out on Blake. But his four-year silence had confirmed her fears--that Blake didn't love her or their child

So naturally Jaime was suspicious when Blake turned up and began campaigning to win back his rights--both as father and husband. And she was hurt and confused when he appeared to be involved in an even more sinister campaign to silence Jaime's opposition to the sale of the local abbey.

Jaime had never been able to interpret Blake's motives. And she still didn't trust him to return her love.
