A poignant and powerful story about a woman torn between two lovers: the husband she believed was dead and the fiance she's about to marry. Alanna Cantrell's world was shattered when her dashing foreign correspondent husband was kidnapped before her eyes. After his death, she slowly, painfully began rebuilding her life. She's about to be married to Jonas Harte, the steady, supportive contractor who restored her San Francisco Victorian home, when she receives an out-of-the-blue call from her husband, who's very much alive. Memories of Alanna sustained Mitch Cantrell through years of captivity. Now he wants his life-and his beloved bride-back. It wasn't easy getting past Alanna's formidable defenses and encouraging her to love again. As sympathetic as Jonas is to his rival's situation, he's determined to prove that he's the right man for the strong, independent woman Alanna has become. Revised 2nd edition of a JoAnn Ross classic.
