Six years ago Julie's world had turned upside down; she had married Michael Pemberton and left England–and Robert.

Now Michael was dead, and Julie and her small daughter, Emma, had come home again–only to learn that Michael had appointed Robert as the child's guardian. As luck would have it, Emma took to her uncle at once–but Julie was afraid of her own heart. True, he would soon marry the so suitable Pamela Hillingdon, but that only added to the agony. Julie was soon forced to admit that her attraction to Robert was as wild and strong as ever.

How could she stand this impossible situation?
