The Marriage Bed — Stephanie Mittman

HE WAS ALL SHE EVER WANTED...
He stole more than a kiss that day behind the barn when they were barely teens. He stole her heart. But even as he did, Spencer Williamson left her behind to marry another. Now he's come home again, grieving for the family he's lost, to make Olivia his second wife. His second choice.

THE HUSBAND SHE COULD NEVER HOLD...
He tried to ignore her chestnut mane, her lustrous black eyes. He tried not to touch the velvety olive skin, the body that was made for loving, or hear her husky voice that invited intimacy. Spencer Williamson had already lost a family in the worst possible way. So he made Olivia his wife and let her believe they were well and truly married, even accepting her ophaned nieces and nephews into his life. He thought he could keep her at arm's length -- until he nearly lost the woman he tried so hard not to love.
