Book description
Katy Andrews, born to wealth and position, has never been thwarted or
curbed by her gentle mother or her indulgent father. When she sets her
cap at Jamie Hutchinson, she expects the ambitious young farmer to love
her in return - but he does not. He falls in love instead with Katy's
despised, gentle cousin Chloe Taylor, and Katy thinks she has nothing
left to live for. Driven half-mad with grief and horror, she turns to
the most dangerous man she could possibly find: her loutish, brutal
cousin Paddy Andrews. The only man who can save her is Jamie
Hutchinson. And he is married to another woman. 'Her thousands of fans
