"I hate you Greg Prescott...I just hate you." Five years ago, Greg had deceived Abbie, and now fate had delivered even crueler blows. Abbie's sister and brother-in-law had been tragically killed, and Abbie found herself in America, as the joint guardian of her beloved twin nieces--a guardianship she shared with Greg. He wouldn't hear of her taking the little girls back to England. But if she wanted to stay with them she was faced with a cruel alternative--a loveless marriage to Greg, who made it quite plain that he expected to share her bed.
