Four years ago Gianna made a whirlwind marriage to the man she loved—

Raúl Velez-Saldaña was the father of her baby. But, tragically, her pregnancy didn't last and neither did their marriage. Discovering Raúl's infidelity, Gianna left.

But the Spaniard who stole her heart has returned!

As far as Raúl is concerned, his marriage to Gianna was simply postponed—now he wants his wife back! In public they are the perfect society couple; in private the secrets of their past still haunt them both and their desire is just as strong as ever….

Four years ago Gianna lost both her marriage and child. Now Raul is there to get his wife back. The time apart was in his mind just for healing for her, the loss of their child took a great toll on her. Now she must come to trust him again. And not believe all that went on back then. He had a crazy ex who became a stalker that ruined his marriage. Now he feels that the time for thier marriage to resume its course. This is one of the more heart wrenching stories by Bianchin that I have read several times. It is a classic in its own right.

3.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2016
I really enjoyed this book. Most Harlequin books don't give much character details, but this one gave enough for you to get to know them. The characters were engaging and deep. The emotional turmoil was what really kept reading page after page.

What would you do if you fell in love with a man and married him just as quickly. What would you do if he suddenly became distant after a tragedy when you needed his support and you felt the distance between the two of you getting larger and larger. Would you trust him and believe things would get better or would you leave. Add to this a woman bent on coming between you and consider what you'd do when you came across reasons you believe fair reasons to mistrust. Trust him or leave.

A great book that's short enough to not be a hindrance for those of us who don't have much time, yet long enough to give you an emotional ride.

Gianna had married Raul though she was in love no words of love had come from him she was pregnant and he had insisted on marriage, but she lost the baby and very quickly the marriage started to crumble, then something happened and she felt that she had no option but to leave. Now three years later having made a new life for herself she has a nice home she owns her own business and everything is going well, except for the loss of her relationship. Then out of the blue Raul appears demanding she return to Spain with him as his Mother is ill. Gianna had always got on well with Raul's Mother and still kept in touch by letter even after the marriage had ended. Gianna agrees to go to Spain with him, hoping to keep her feelings under wraps. I enjoyed this book very much Gianna and Raul were both likeable characters the sexual tension between them was hot. I especially liked the crazy ex-lover who added an extra dimention to the story. Ms.Bianchin is one of my favourite Mills and Boon authors and never fails to deliver.
