About the book

It was as if she'd never gone away

When Flame had discovered Marlow Hudson's betrayal only a few weeks after their marriage, she'd fled to start a new life on her own. She'd left behind what she thought powerful, arrogant Marlow really wanted: her inheritance. Now her mother's ill health had forced Flame to return to Spain. For her mother's sake, Marlow insisted that their marriage continue-with everything that it entailed. Flame wanted to rebuild the marriage, but could Marlow really be trusted?
