Nickie had been in love with Miguel Aldabe—hopelessly, secretly in love—for as long as she could remember. Hopelessly because he was already trapped in a loveless marriage. Secretly because nothing had happened though Nickie’s thoughts might have betrayed her a thousand times. Miguel has always treated her like a cherished sister. So Nickie was devastated to learn that Miguel’s wife wanted a divorce on the grounds of his adultery with Nickie! Now the famous Nevada trial is over, Miguel has taken Nickie to the Basque country as his bride. But she fears that his feelings are still brotherly, that all he wants is a child to replace the one he lost at the divorce. [from author web site]
