Now was the winter of discontent for Paul Vanzant. His children were grown, the wife he'd once loved–but who'd bitterly betrayed him–was gone. He felt rudderless on a chillingly cold sea...

Then he met Karen Mitchell–a woman in the autumn of her life. Though she found passion in Paul's embrace, Karen claimed a momentary interlude was all they'd ever share.

But Paul wanted more than a brief affair. He'd finally found true love, and he was determined to keep Karen–and the warmth of spring–forever in his life.

Valerie Jordan felt that her own life had ended with the death of her fiance, but she was wrong.

Life–and love–beckoned to her once more in the person of Jonas Thorne. A man of moods, of bewildering arrogance and stunning tenderness, he made her his wife.

His kisses gave her breath; his touch lit a fire in her, and with firm determination he led her into a future brighter than any she had ever known.
