Professor Sheila Connelly remembers Professor Sam Sumners. His dark eyes, his talented tongue, the way he always makes it clear he wants her. She should remember him-he's still her husband, after all. When she "liberates" a powerful Inuit artifact from a ruthless dealer and needs help to find it a home, there's no one else she trusts more than Sam. During the resulting adventures through the perilous arctic, she can't remember how she managed without him. It's 1955, and it's a man's world. Through the magic of the artifact, Sam finds out just how hard it is to be a woman. And Sheila discovers that no matter what happens, she needs Sam with a passion hot enough to melt all the ice around her heart, and his. All they have to do now is survive.
