Rosemary Abrams is a feisty young woman who isn’t looking for love and marriage. For two years, she’s been satisfied with the situationship between her and Russell, but he wants more, and she can’t give him what he wants.

Russell Rush is a man of few words, exuding a quiet strength. The only thing that makes him weak is his love for Rose. While he is in love with her, she seems incapable . . . or uninterested in returning his feelings. He’s run out of patience and gives her an ultimatum, which, to his surprise, has an unexpected outcome.

After a year apart, they reconnect and share a passion-filled night. Russell is certain their reunion puts them on the road to a happily ever after, but Rose has something she needs to tell him that she believes will change how he feels about her.

Will the secret Rose is hiding end them once and for all, or is Russell’s love for her strong enough to endure?
