Unable to resist the one man she's ever truly loved, Linda succumbs to the hot wave of desire rushing between them... Being in Matthew's arms once more is ecstasy, yet Linda's stung by local gossip and her parents' reproach. Matthew's determined not to lose her again... but can he make her stand up to the whole town's disapproval and tempt her to embrace his love forever?
