She thought she knew her husband. She thought she knew herself. She was mistaken on both counts....

When Katherine Fraser's husband vanishes, she discovers that he has hidden his past from her...but when his wealthy family finds her and sweeps her into a world of power and luxury, the fearful, dependent wife is gradually transformed into a vibrant, glamorous woman. From San Francisco to Paris to the Côte d'Azur, Katherine tastes the romance and elegance of a world she never had dreamed possible. Suddenly, her husband returns, and forces her to choose: whether to embrace the past, or to plunge into a richly exciting new life,

and a deep, passionate new love.

When a woman gets a second chance, should she be loyal to the life she had before? Judith Michael explores this intriguing question

in the unforgettable bestseller Possessions.
