The honeymoon was over Rafe had wanted Tanya the moment he saw her. When he proposed, she'd been deliciously happy--happy to give up her job without a second thought, and devote herself to decorating their beautiful new home in Sydney's most prestigious neighborhood. She hadn't realized then that the only intimacy he wanted with her was in their bed. Rafe put business--including his cool blond personal assistant--first. Tanya was not about to spend the rest of her life waiting for a man who thought another woman was more important than his wife. The honeymoon was over. The marriage was at the breaking point.

The temptation to surrender to her passionate nature is too much but her happiness is short lived. For Sylvia has a small daughter and she realizes too late that in reaching out for a moment's happiness she has destroyed a child's world.
