Jillian Ashton had been lied to, cheated on and tragically widowed. Seeing her through it all was Seth Bennedict - her brother-in-law. He'd held her, comforted her - and she'd felt the simmering of an impossible attraction. But now the fire was not just simmering, it was threatening to boil over. And she wanted it to! Seth had never forgotten the pain his brother's widow had suffered. In his dreams, he'd made love to Jillian a thousand times, but now the aching desire had grown out of control. Yet her eager passion made him uneasy. Now that Seth's fantasy had come true, the secret burden he'd been hiding from her all these years was suddenly too heave to bear.
