Act of Love...or Act of Vengeance?
Beautiful Vanessa Ratclife had known Angus Cotton since both of them were children. She was the pampered daughter of wealth and position. He was a servant's son, climbing the ladder of success.
When a moment of folly left Vanessa pregnant with another man's child, Angus volunteered to rescue her from scandal and shame, by giving that child his name.

Vanessa defiled her father to marry Angus, and all too soon conflict and doubt began to taint her happiness. Had her husband married her for love, or to revenge himself on her father who despised him? Was she a cherished wife, or a symbol of his triumph to be flanunted...?
