Publisher's Synopsis
She lost her first chance at love . . . After spending six years to an oppressive husband, Evelyn Ashley-Cooper is free to be herself again, to live again . . . and to love again. Eve finds herself floundering under the veneer of perfection her domineering husband demanded, unable to unleash the vivacious girl she was once was. Since meeting Eve many years before, Francis MacKintosh has become a man embittered by life, by a wife who has made him a cuckold to the whole of Scotland, and by a scandalous divorce. He never thought that he would find Eve, his Eden, once again or that he would dare push aside his disdain of the fairer sex, to trust, and love once more. If only he might convince his true love to do the same! They found a second chance together . . . Love and desire tempt Eve to shed her old self and begin anew, but she's torn between the yearning to be with Francis and a determination never to put herself under the thumb of another man. Just when happiness seems but a step away, their mutual pasts will come crashing down around them attempting to tear them apart. The question remains, will their rediscovered love be enough to conquer all?
