Night after night, she has longed for his kiss, ached for his touch, and dreamed of the day he comes home.

Now a free but changed man, Jesse must work harder than ever to regain Christine's trust, to rekindle the magic they once shared, and to reignite the kind of passion and intimacy that will grow stronger every day-and hotter every night . . .
