Catherine Blade's uncommon beauty and daring have taken her far in the world, but she still doesn’t have the freedom to live life as she chooses. Finally given the chance to earn her independence, who should be standing in her way but the only man she's ever loved—the only person to ever betray her.
Despite the scars Catherine left him, Captain Leighton Atwood has never been able to forget the mysterious girl who once so thoroughly captivated him. When she unexpectedly reappears in his life, he refuses to get close to her. But he cannot deny the yearning she reignites in his heart.
Their reunion, however, plunges them into a web of espionage, treachery, and deadly foes. With everything at stake, Leighton and Catherine are forced to work together to find a way out. If they are ever to find safety and happiness, they must first forgive and learn to trust each other again.

“Thomas breaks away from her usual style and creates a wonderfully
original story, told partially through flashbacks, in which a daring
heroine and an adventurer hero come to grips with their past and future.
Readers may be divided between the flashbacks and the present plotline,
but no one will be immune to the underlying emotional power, depth of
character, steamy sensuality, and remarkable storytelling Thomas
delivers. Here is a novel that can be read on several levels and will be
cherished by many.”
