Valentine's Victory

Two hundred years apart wasn't enough to break their bond.

Rebecca Whitman has spent two centuries as Chicago's most feared ice queen-controlling global love affairs while keeping her own heart frozen.

Every Tuesday night, vivid dreams of stolen kisses and forbidden touches leave her tangled in silk sheets, aching for a man she buried in 1823.

Alessandro Rossi has been imprisoned in a dimension between worlds, his consciousness slowly dissolving into nothing. His only lifeline? Projecting fantasies into his wife's sleeping mind.

For a hundred years, he's made love to her across the void, desperate to keep them both from fading away.

When his letter materializes on her desk, Rebecca's perfectly controlled world shatters. He's alive. Their passion has been mutual. The daughter they lost survived. She has until Valentine's Day to break him out-but her legendary control is cracking.

Two centuries of suppressed desire are exploding out of her in waves of chaotic magic, and Alessandro's presence in her mind is making her burn.

The ice queen is melting. The prison is collapsing. Their reunion will be explosive in every sense of the word.

Can they survive long enough to claim the second chance they've earned-or will their desperate desire destroy them both?
