IT STARTED on the ship. Claudia, a bride of a few days, was ecstatically happy as she sailed to join her new husband in their exotic Hawaiian home. Then she began to hear the rumors…OBVIOUSLY, they weren't true. But privately, she had to admit that Stephen was an enigmatic man, although irresistibly attractive. He did not even try to conceal the fact that there were strange secrets in his past…BUT HE had not told her what those secrets were. And she could not begin to guess how they would blight her happiness and alter her life!
