Caitlin and John Matthews shared something special—a crackling quick wit and heady, sensual chemistry. But when Cait's cousin needed her in Belfast, and the State Department called John to the world's hot trouble spots, they parted ... thoughtlessly, foolishly. Now, a year later, their marriage seems over. Then John arrives most unexpectedly in Ireland, eager to resume the laughter and fulfill the longing. In his masterful presence Cait glows—giddy with passion, alive and loving. But does John really want to win her back, or is she only a convenient tool in untangling some shady goings-on?
