About the book
It was both flattering and frightening when the Greek shipping tycoon Nicholas Demetrious asked Vicky to become his secretary - an ordinary little typist with nothing to commend her. She was even more overwhelmed when, not long afterwards, he asked her to marry him. As she had speedily fallen in love with him she joyfully accepted - but then, too late, she found out what Nik was really up to. For he didn't love her, he hated her; he was determined to be revenged on her. But why? What was she supposed to have done?
