From the first he had made no secret of his attraction to Stella, and when she accepted his proposal she was at least honest enough to admit that it was for the sake of his money. So began their curious relationship.

With so much honesty all round, it might well have succeeded — and as Matthew had hoped, love might have grown between them eventually — if Stella could only escape from the memory of Charles Heyward, the symbol of her former life.

"You're just another greedy gold digger." Abby West was shocked at GilesFarrow's words. True, his aunt Matilda Bateman had taken Abby under her wingon Abby's dream holiday to India.

It was worse to have to admit that he was the most attractiveman she'd ever had the misfortune to meet!
