About the book
Could Leith ever forgive her? When Carolyn Allerton, secretary in a Brisbane construction company, met her new boss, she was shocked and felt faint. If he recognized her, Leith McCabe could shatter the quiet life she led with her teenage son. In spite of her fears Carolyn fell in love with the hard-driving man who fourteen years before had accused her of causing the tragedy that haunted both their lives. When Leith asked her to marry him, Carolyn had to decide whether to tell the truth and risk losing his love ... or gamble for happiness as long as it lasted.
