Used book – *Night of Fire*, Diana Palmer, Fabrice Canepa

One festive evening, Sarina and Colby share a passionate kiss. They have been friends forever, still at the age of self-discovery. But, caught by Sarina's father, who imagines the worst and forces them into marriage, they soon find themselves in their wedding night chamber. Sarina is a virgin and genuinely in love; Colby, blinded by anger, convinced that she betrayed him and kissed him solely to trap him, now only has vengeance in his heart. In the morning, after succumbing to his desire for her, he abandons her without a backward glance... But one cannot trample a first passion with impunity. Years of silence and resentment later, when he never imagined crossing paths with Sarina again, Colby is confronted with his past: he meets the young woman – and the adorable little girl she had with a strangely "absent" man.
