About the book
It was unfortunate, but inevitable Tess realized. Since their arrival on the west coast of Canada four years ago, she and her father had dreamed of developing the guest house by the lovely lake at the foot of the Rockies. But now her father was dead and her mother had decided to return to England, leaving Tess with no alternative but to follow as soon everything had been wound up. So the house was put up for sale and all Tess had to do was to wait for a prospective buyer. He materialised - in the form of a coolly domineering wretch of a man who not only wanted to take over the guest house, but apparently organise Tess's life for her as well. In no time at all things had slipped right out of her grasp and into the large strong hands of Mr. Steve Fenner - and there didn't seem to be a thing Tess could do about it. She was quite powerless to defy the man - but, to be honest, did she really want to?
