About the book
Shay was the raven haired beauty the Falconer brothers called Gypsy. The four men each found her irresistible. But it was Lyon Falconer who claimed her, when he didn't have the right, and sealed her fate.
And it was Ricky, the youngest Falconer, who picked up the fragments of Shay's shattered life and married her out of love. Only now, with her husband's death, destiny hurled Shay back within Lyon's reach.
It was the moment he'd been waiting for; a final chance to prove that Shay had always been, always would be, his Gypsy.
