description: The memory held nothing but pain
  
  Alex Thomassin was the last man Christabel Evans expected, or wanted, to see, a year after their disastrous night together.
  
  Here in the rugged north of New Zealand, she had another look, another life, even a different name. She was worlds removed from the exotic model who had given herself to him.
  
  But the past would not leave her alone. Nor would the astonishing realization that she loved him--a man who no longer even recognized her!
   - - -
  Brokenhearted over the way Greg Bardsley had deceived her, Christabel Evans had behaved very foolishly - and very untypically - with Alex Thomassin, a man she didn't even know, and as a result of it all she had left Australia and her life as a successful model and taken refuge with her family in New Zealand. There she began to find peace again, and a new set of values - until suddenly that peace was destroyed by the arrival of Alex.
  How had he known she was there? What did he want? And why couldn't Christabel get him out of her mind?
