Battered by the sea, Adam remembers nothing of his past, his ducal rank, nor of the shipwreck that almost claimed his life. But he''s delighted to hear that the golden-haired vision tending his wounds is his wife. Mariah''s name and face may not be familiar, but her touch, her warmth, feel deliciously right.

And now a passion begun in fantasy has become dangerously real—and completely irresistible.
