About the book
She had driven away the man she loved.
Sharon Tiler met Lee Brent by accident, but his pursuit of her was purposeful and marriage quickly followed. But when rumors started, Sharon hadn't the confidence or security to ignore them.
The thought that Lee had married her just to comply with his father's wishes hurt her beyond words. And now her silly retaliation had made Lee believe she was a scheming, money-hungry seductress.
It would take more than apologies to erase his doubts. Was Lee's love for her strong enough? Or would she always face rejection from the man she adored?
