description: From the grinding poverty of a remote coal-mining village...to the sensuous opulence of an Italian villa...the bright flame of their love never wavered...In the sweet spring darkness of the Welsh countryside, beautiful Mair Parry had given her innocence to the man she loved. Now, many months and many miles distant from that tender joining, she gazed once again into his dark eyes and seemed to see reflected there the bitter heartache that had separated them-the driving political ambition that had stopped him from making her his wife; the fierce pride that had prevented her from becoming his mistress. But here, hidden from the prying eyes of the world, Mair could not help succumbing to the simmering passion between them. No matter what the scandal when they faced society again, she must give their love a second chance.
