Leon was just a familiar stranger

Roselle's marriage to Leon five years earlier had had a bizarre beginning. Now, it seemed, it would have an equally strange end.

Her visit to Leon's vineyard in southern France was merely to ask him for a divorce. After all, they'd never lived together as man and wife -- except, of course, for those few wonderful months in London.

But that was long ago, and Roselle knew Leon didn't really want a wife. Why, then, had this reunion -- and her request -- sparked such a violent and passionate reaction?
