Liam Bartlett had nearly lost his life in San Salustiano, and for five years the correspondent had done his best to silence his ghosts. But when Marisala Bolivar arrived in Boston, all his memories returned—along with a white-hot hunger for the young rebel who had hidden him and kept him alive. Marisala ached for Liam's touch, so long forbidden but now hers to fight for with a woman's fierce need. Could a love once forged in fire at last burn true?
In this unforgettably sensual love story, Suzanne Brockmann creates a portrait of two daredevil survivors tested by sorrow and bound by destiny to heal each other's wounds.
A flame who beckoned him out of the darkness, she understood his pain as no one ever would, but could he soothe her hidden scars by offering her his soul?

"I am so glad this book was re-issued as it's a great love story of Liam and Mari. Reading Brockmann is like seeing old friends again. I love how here books revisit the charachters of her other stories.......You have to read this book after you first read forbidden."
— Cheryl (5 out of 5 stars)
" Typical Suzanne Brockmann romance--I can always count on her for a good story, although this is a pretty short one. I'll admit, the hero's declaration of love to the heroine in his newspaper column got to me! *sniff* "
— Auntee, 2/19/2014" Not nearly as good at the first book in the series. I really wish that Cal and Kayla played more of a role in this book (or at least were referenced in more then a wedding photo). "
— Rebekah, 2/14/2014" This is a very weak 4 stars....if I could give it 3.5 I would. "
— Rochelle, 2/1/2014" Mom rated "
— Dennis, 1/12/2014" I thought I would like this book more than the first. Heck the only reason I read the first was to get to this one. I skipped to the end and didn't seem to miss anything inbetween. "
— Mrs, 12/31/2013" Good, deep characters. "
— S, 11/21/2013" I liked this book all right, but parts were just too disturbing to belong in a romance novel. It's admittedly a fine line between the amount of gritty reality that's acceptable in an escapist romance and that which is just too much, but parts of this book crossed that line for me. "
— Christy, 11/14/2013" Because it is Brockmann, I really wanted to like this more than I did. Story felt rushed, characters were never fully developed, and everything seemed extra-contrived (for a Brockmann romance). At least it was short. "
— Debbie, 10/14/2013" This takes secondary characters from "Forbidden" and goes into their lives as they try to find out who they really are now that they aren't running for their lives everyday. Short, sweet romance. "
— T., 9/6/2013" Reminds me of Iris Johansen's early works. "
— Amy, 1/2/2013" This isn't one of her SEALs books; but it's still good. All her stuff is. "
