原文書封面:

SHE HAD WALKED AWAY FROM A FORTUNE -- AND NOW IT WALKED BACK INTO HER LIFE. — Mara Worthington left everything she had grown up with -- humiliation from a domineering father, grief over her dead brother, and the family fortune. — Now a strange clause in her father's will kept that fortune just barely out of her grasp: She had to marry immediately, or watch Worthington Brass disappear into the hands of strangers.
 
One man was offering marriage -- Eric Shelby, Mara's father had stolen the business away from Eric's father. This was his chance to settle an old score.
 
The marriage solved every problem but one: Where was love?
