About the book
Joanna had loved Cole Macallister with a passion, which had taken her completely by storm. And she’d thought he felt the same. Theirs was a marriage made in heaven. But that didn’t stop it all falling apart amid a tangle of accusation and suspicion. Was Joanna completely crazy to let Cole talk her into returning with him to Tidewater, his South Carolina home? What lay between them in the past was surely smashed beyond repair. He had another woman in his life now. But it seemed that Cole’s desire for Joanna wasn’t dead at all.
