Bettina Daniels is the pampered but underappreciated daughter of a famous author who dies and leaves her penniless. With nothing but her social skills and a fragile dream of writing a play, Bettina follows her heart into some of the potholes of life and loving. This coming-of-age story has all the basic ingredients of a standard Danielle Steel romance: wealthy men, beautiful but naive women, and the flying sparks that result when these characters mingle.

Pampered, adored and adorable, Bettina Daniels was the golden girl with the world at her feet. She had youth, beauty and a glamorous lifestyle-everything her father's love, fame and money could buy.

Then, without warning, Justin Daniels was gone. And Bettina was left with a mountain of debts and a world full of strangers-men who promised her many things, who tempted her with words of love. Bettina had to live her own life...weave her own dreams...reach out and seize her chance for LOVING.
