Used book – The Passengers of Desire; The Forgotten Promise, Jessica Bird

Tonight, Madeline will be his... It's only the second time Spike Moriarty has met Madeline MacGuire at mutual friends' houses, but watching her approach him, breathtakingly beautiful, provocative and wild all at once; catching her eye, as if in response to his own desire, he knows that tonight they won't resist the force drawing them to each other. She will be his, then he will disappear. Because he has no right to hope for more with her than an ephemeral affair. Too many obstacles separate them. She, the famous and wealthy heiress. He, the former bad boy from Boston with a troubled and tumultuous past... Since the tragedy that marked her childhood and which she has never spoken to anyone about, Rachel has promised herself not to commit and breaks off any romantic relationship as soon as it becomes too strong. Until the day she meets Carter and has a brief, passionate affair with him. An affair all the more unsettling for Rachel as she broke her vow by falling in love. But there is something even more shocking: she is pregnant with Carter's child. And he will never agree to give up being the father of their child...
