"Can't you see how much loving someone hurts?"

Justin de Wolfe's words were prophetic for Caroline Maxwell. Drawn to Justin by a fierce mutual passion, the usually sensible Caroline married him knowing that he couldn't love her, just as she couldn't help loving him.

She accepted the hazards of marriage to the arrogant, magnetic lawyer. But Justin's reaction to Caroline's eager announcement of her pregnancy shocked her to the core.

So many things about Justin needed an explanation; his aversion to love, his sudden changes of mood and the woman from his past whose name he cried out in his sleep. Her, most of all.
