Soon their friendship flames into something deeper...and as scandal ignites, marriage seems the only solution. But Ellen has a secret--one she can share with no one--that prevents her from fully opening her heart to Dominic. Until he devises his own plan for the ultimate consummation of their passion--and the woman he is determined to possess at any cost...
