About the book
Jessica launched herself on a new career
She firmly believed that she had put the traumas of the past successfully behind her.
Yet some shadows still lingered and she feared that even now her parents would somehow try to manipulate her and force her to return to the life-style she'd rejected.
That's why it was surprising when she fell head over heels in love with Daniel Hayward. Rich, attractive and successful--just the sort of man her parents would have chosen for her. He told her he loved her, but could Jessica trust him?
