About the book
Stacey knew that Dr. Martin Guelder had married her only to give her the protection of his name and the right to live in his house, and that all he expected of her in return was that she act as hostess and housekeeper for him. Emotion was not supposed to enter into the arrangement. But -- poor Stacey! -- she had adored him from the first moment she set eyes on him.
