About the book
She'd had enough pain to last a lifetime
When Cassandra left her husband, Elliott, she had thought it would hurt forever. Yet she had had to do it; she couldn't live with a man who put business ahead of his marriage.
For over five years she had kept busy selling real estate in France--slowly regaining control of her life.
But the ache in her heart came rushing back when Elliott turned up as her new boss, with the gorgeous Michele Durand by his side. And her control began slipping away.
