About the book
After a decade of silence, Justin Lamontagne stood at her door, handsome and ruthless as ever. Only now, he was the successful businessman he'd always claimed he'd become.
Eleven years of separation hadn't healed Margie's wounds, and that old electrifying attraction still burned between them.
One thing had changed, though. At last, Justin wanted to settle down and produce an heir--and he'd decided Margie made the ideal partner. Margie had to concede his conclusion was logical--after all, Justin was her husband.
