A Secret Rebellion

One night was all she'd wanted...

Few of Beth's students would have recognized her as the seductive charmer who crashed a posh London party, commanded the immediate attention of Alex Thiarchos, brazenly seduced him...and disappeared.

But her mission was accomplished. She was pregnant. And she was happily and quite determinedly alone. Surely the haunting image of her first and only lover -- the father of her child -- would fade in time?

Wrong. A campus tragedy brought Alex back into her life, stirring needs, desires and complications Beth didn't want. Now Alex knew heartache firsthand, and this time he wouldn't let her go!

Hero: Alex Thirachos (Thorpe)
Heroine: Elizabeth "Beth" Ryan
