Sophie Randal had loved her husband, but had to run away from him. He was simply too wonderful and she loved him too much. Unfortunately, she knew that he'd married her only out of pity after her father died and her heart ached to be so in love with a man who barely tolerated her.

She just forgot one little detail about her husband. He didn't like to lose. Anything.

Jason Randal had searched everywhere for Sophie after she'd left him. He couldn't believe it when he found her in a tiny village working as a gardener! Bringing her back was easy enough. The real challenge was showing her that he loved her.

Could Sophie trust in herself and Jason's love? Was she strong enough to be the woman he saw underneath her shy exterior? She certainly wanted to try!
