description: THE passions of their past became the foundation of their future
  
  Bella Ashton both feared and delighted in the return of her husband, Mr. Anthony Ashton.
  
  If anything, he appeared stronger and more handsome for his two years in Canada. He had lost none of his power to pierce her soul. And it seemed he was not entirely immune to her now infamous charms.
  
  Clearly, he had returned with a burning de-sire which inflamed Bella with the heat of hope. But with one word, he reduced her hope to ashes, yet the embers of love refused to grow cold.
