Never Let Go — Deborah Smith

Confusion, fury, and disbelief filled Rucker McClure's soul when he saw his wife across the airport waiting room. A year ago his beloved Dinah had vanished without a trace, but he'd never stopped looking for her, never given up hope, until now, when it seemed all his worst fears were true: she'd betrayed her country and abandoned the husband shed sworn to love until death. Tormented by conflicting needs to comfort and punish the woman who'd shattered his trust, Pucker lashed out at Dinah when she begged for his help--but despair warred with a hunger that time and loss had only deepened. With so many secrets between them, only a shaky truce was possible, but Dinah needed to prove she was still his wild Southern belle and met his anger with passion, his denigrating words with love. Rucker was the dream that had kept her alive in a world of terror and pain -- must she sacrifice forever in his arms to save the desperado hero of her heart?
