More DescriptionChristian Hunt is married to his former psychiatrist and whisks her away to Europe for their honeymoon, taking her on the adventure of her lifetime as he promised her. Jessica Hunt has long been intrigued by her husband's notorious past, but her jealousy rises up when she finds herself thrust face to face with that past as they journey from the canals of Venice to the artisan alleys of Paris. Amidst a whirlwind of romance and desire, secrets are revealed that will change the course of her life forever, and an old enemy resurfaces to threaten their new love. 'But, in spite of her outward bravado, Jessica was still reeling with shock and anger as they were escorted to a table on the outdoor terrace for dinner. Gazing out over the exotic backdrop of the Grand Canal, she wondered if it had been na#65533;ve of her to think that Christian's playboy past would not be thrust in her face in such a blatant manner. The arrogant indifference with which the woman had dismissed her had left her more than a tad unnerved, and she was panicking on the inside as a barrage of self-doubts began floating to the surface. Was she out of her league with Christian? She was just a psychiatrist. She was not a part of the jet set crowd he was accustomed to. She was a stranger inside his world of extravagance and luxury. Would she truly be able to hold her own against women like the haughty socialite, women who were sophisticated and worldly in ways that she could not even imagine? Or would she end up proving to be an embarrassment to Christian? A million fears were assailing her as Jessica glanced up at Christian, but the quiet devotion which lit his gaze as he captured her hand and lifted it to his lips had them retreating into the shadows, and a conviction grew to maturity within her heart. He had never given her any reason to doubt his love or his commitment to her, so she would not allow herself to be intimidated by the women of his past. They were just that. They were a part of his past, a memory from a distant yesterday. But he was her today, and her tomorrow. He was her future. He was her husband. He belonged to her. Mine. The silent statement of possession rang clear as she cupped his cheek and drew him down into a kiss, and he returned the fiery caress of her lips without hesitation, his tongue sweeping a path across them before plunging behind them to stroke against hers with a mounting urgency. "Ahem." The discreet cough from the waiter standing to the right of their table drew him away, and he gave her a devious wink before he returned his attention to his menu. But his passion exploded later that night as he closed the door to their suite behind them. "Come here," he growled as he spun her around and swept her off her feet with ease. Marching into the bedroom, he deposited her atop the bed and his dark gaze pinned her to the mattress as he began to discard his clothes with a careless neglect. "Get your damned panty off. Unless you want me to rip it off you instead," he muttered as he stripped off his boxers.'
