SHE WAS THE ONLY WOMAN HE'D EVER LOVED.... — The alabaster skin, the amethyst eyes -- Dev Abrams shook his head. Why, after all this time, did he think he saw his dead wife in the theater lobby? Then he looked again and met the shocked eyes of the only woman he had ever loved. Felicity felt stunned, dizzy at the sight of her husband in the magnificent flesh. He'd been reported killed in the middle of a revolution, but her heart shouted with triumph that it wasn't true. He'd identified her body by the wedding ring he'd given her, but now destiny had revealed the shocking truth.
Dev claimed Felicity with an embrace of such violence and hunger she wept, then returned his kiss with a fierce need that echoed his own. Drawn into a passionate maelstrom that overwhelmed them both, Felicity and Dev fought to recapture ecstasy's memory, but shadows in the night still threatened their lives. Seared by savage desire, consumed by wild need, could they protect the eternal flame of their love?
It wasn't a bad story, though for the serious theme (trouble in the Middle East, political turmoil, violence, presumed death, long separations, threats, kidnappings, danger, etc.) there should have been more depth to, it.
I like the way it started, with the H, Dev going to the theatre and seeing a woman in the lobby whom he's convinced is Felicity (the h), the wife he thought had been killed several years ago. And so the tale unfolds!
Both Felicity and Dev never stopped loving each other and she thought he, too had been killed, and circumstances lead her to remarry a prominent political figure, though (due to his serious injury) it was a marriage in name only. Yet, the daughter she had with Dev (only a baby when they were separated) thought of this man as her father, and Dev had to get to know his own child and have her accept him as her father. There was also the fact that Felicity had truly cared for the man she had married, though not in a romantic sense, and Dev had to accept that. For her part, Felicity had to accept that during their years apart there had been many women in Dev's life (and bed), though never anyone serious.
There are some scary moments, some intrigue and suspense, as these two find their way fully back to each other.
