About the book
"I've given it plenty of thought. I don't want any children!"
Tane had found her. After four years of searching, she was his once more and he had no intention of letting her out of his sight. But Laura's life had changed during that time. Her husband had died and she was struggling to support her young son, Jamie. What did it matter that she and Tane were still attracted to one another? His views hadn't changed one bit and even passion couldn't override the fact that they were locked in an eternal stalemate. And to survive Tane's attentions a second time, Laura had to keep her wits about her and the truth about Jamie well and truly hidden!
