The Damaged Heart

An icicle heart that melts under a gentle touch...

The advertisement--Wife needed, a virgin and a homemaker. Who in their right mind would reply to such an arrogant, chauvinistic requirement? Abigail Bountiful, plain, shy, and ordinary, is a city girl in need of a home, and desperate measures are called for. Gabriel Strong is gorgeous and powerful and, to Abigail's naive, young eyes, the very epitome of manhood--so why does he need to advertise for a wife? Out in the Alaskan wilderness, the journey of discovery begins. Locked in each other's arms under the heavenly phenomenon of the aurora borealis, will they realize their love for each other? Or as tragedy strikes will they be torn apart by grief? Or by the she-wolf from Gabriel's past? A turbulent adventure at the Arctic circle, cold wintry days and hot erotic nights, limbs entwined under star-filled skies, and a wild, consuming passion--will lust turn to love?
