Allyson wants passion and adventure. She's ready to seek a lover. There's just one obstacle; her husband. Love at second sight. Roland had little use for his child bride--until he saw her again after ten years at war. Her tongue cut like a sword's edge, but her body promised nights of raw passion. If only he could overcome her hatred... But it's not hatred that has her on the run. A far different emotion drives her to flee his touch. Once an unwanted wife was bad enough. This time she won't wait around to become the other woman.
