From the haunting depths of a desert canyon to the rolling hills of the English countryside, Mary Jo Putney sweeps you into the fascinating world of the professional actor - where a passionate, powerful drama slowly, seductively begun to unfold . . .
For years, Kenzie Scott was everything to Raine Marlowe, the friend she turned to for courage and comfort, the lover who touched the most tender parts of her heart, the husband she adored but never really knew. Even as their marriage disintegrates into a civilised divorce, he helps her achieve her dream of becoming a director by agreeing to play the lead in 'The Centurion'.
Raine knows the part of the mysterious, tortured hero is perfect for Kenzie - but he fear's the character's dark secrets may be dangerously close to his own. And when filming begins, he realises that he must make peace with the tragic past he has guarded for years - or lose the one woman he will love for all time . . .
