When the doctor tells Roscoe Lancaster that he has only days to live, Roscoe asks his beautiful young wife Caroline, to contact his estranged son Rink, and ask him to come home. Rink arrives the next day and Caroline realizes she still has feelings for Rink. He was her first love and the man who broke her heart. Rink claims he has only returned to claim his inheritance and settle his father's affairs. Caroline begins to lean on Rink and does not want him to leave.

I picked this book because it fulfills a reading challenge that I'm working on. I've read many of Sandra Brown's older books and know they are hit and miss for me. This one was certainly a big miss. First off, Caroline was 15 and Rink had just graduated college when they met and fell in love. Ick. Caroline admits she married Roscoe for his money and his mansion. That didn't make me like her. Rink, like most of Sandra Brown's heroes, does not understand what "no" means. He continually traps Caroline against the wall, forcefully kissing her. She starts out pushing him away, but eventually gives in. The dying husband, Roscoe, was a real bastard who lived to make Rink and Caroline miserable. Now that he is dying, he wants to make sure they hate each other when he is gone. My rating: 1 Star.
