From the back cover: "Keep your love. Did I ever ask for it?" Paul's voice rang out. His face was a taut sculpture, chiseled out of stone-as she felt certain his heart was. "No", Domini threw at him," but you're not quite so inhuman as to enjoy for very long the companionship of a wife who hates you!" She couldn't weep. Tears had set like ice in her and the sweetness of today had turned to bitterness. The rings on her hands felt heavy-like manacles, she told herself. Shackles that bound her to a man who had forced her into a loveless disaster of a marriage My view: The heroine marries the hero after the hero demands her hand or he will have her cousin thrown in jail. The cousin stole money from the hero. I would actually give this book four stars. This is my first violet Winspear book and it was not bad. Her writing style is very distinct among the harlequin authors that I have read so far. Her hero was also something of a nice guy in comparison to some of the other Harlequin heroes. This is a may-dec rommance as the heroine is 21 and the hero is in his mid 30's.
