Devlin Vaughan is enraged to the point of obsession when he sees his former lover, Julia Beaumont, following a year's absence when she abandoned him to go with another to France. She broke his heart and humiliated him and now he wants her back on his terms. She's trying to shield her heart from being broken by a man who only wants a mistress.This is a story of miscommunications where two people fail to express to one another their true feelings. Each is left to speculate from the behaviors of the other with disastrous results. Normally, that's a story that would drive me batty but not a lot of time was wasted here and it wasn't protracted. More emphasis was put on learning from both Julia and Devlin's perspectives just how deeply their passions ran and what they really wanted.I enjoyed this opening novella with its steaminess and honesty. It's my first introduction to Jennifer Haymore and I like her writing style. I'm looking forward to reading all the books planned for this series.
