After her terrifying ordeal in the Middle East, Cassa Welles is coming home. A tall, dark beauty, she has a fervent love for the country whose freedoms she has been denied—and a heart- stopping ache to feel Dan's arms around her once again. He is her partner, her loving husband, her homecoming. For Dan Welles, the months of believing Cassa dead and his world destroyed are not easily forgotten. Their tender passion flares anew, but painful questions remain unspoken as they seek to set aside the past and revel in the joy of their reunion.
