Intimate Strangers

Lucy and Ambrose Quince share passion in and out of bed. But in 1874, after eight years of marriage, Lucy mysteriously disappears. Some folks say she’s left her family and run off with a lover. Others claim she’s dead. Three years later, scarred in mind and body, Lucy is drawn back to Eclipse and the life she’s forgotten—and it includes a snarling, lustful husband named Ambrose Quince. Although she claims she can’t remember him, Ambrose hasn’t forgotten a damned thing. Lucy left him and their two children and he owes her nothing. Trouble is—his heart remembers too and Lucy’s the only woman who’ll ever own it.
