About the book
Troy Donovan had struggled hard to get his life back together, only to realize that the best part of it had walked out the door a year before. He needed his wife back or out of his system for good. So he had tracked Lucy down and issued an ultimatum: "Either we live together as husband and wife or I want a divorce!"
Unfortunately, Lucy was far from pleased to see him. She had turned her back on love--it hurt too much. It was hardly an invitation for a second honeymoon but Troy was determined to get what he wanted--even if it meant wooing his own wife....
