About the book
She'd fallen in love with her own husband! Blake Preston's plane was missing, and Juliana was forced to admit that her husband of convenience meant everything. But if Blake was found, there'd be no room in their practical marriage for such feelings, and Juliana would have to go on keeping her secret...never mind that, underneath, her heart cried out for Blake; on the surface, she would remain composed and match her husband's cool indifference. Or would she? Her mind was under control, but what about her body--would her tell tale responses betray her to the man she loved?
