For six long years, she'd kept a painful secret from him, but her deception had caught up with Jacob was back, she was a widow with a young son, and nothing would keep him from learning the truth at last. He'd haunted her dreams for so long, now he stalked her with a sensual power that made her ache, made her yearn -- but she dared not surrender to his fierce demands.Jacob insisted he didn't want her anymore, but Rachel was still the only woman who could soothe his pain and take him soaring beyond the stars. Would the truth set him free of her forever, or could he forgive the enchantress who'd always be the wind beneath his wings?
