About the book
They were strangers, but each had a need
The loss of her dearest friend left Diana with a profound need to be close to someone. One night of passion in a stranger's arms, unplanned and unexpected, answered that need and more--she became pregnant!
Yet Diana felt no regret about her baby's conception. She would put the man and the night behind her and start a new life elsewhere.
But fate followed. The very town Diana chose to settle in was home to Marcus Simons, her hitherto nameless lover. And, clearly, once was not enough for Marcus.
