About the book
"Pretend to be his fiancee! I couldn't!" Sandra was shocked at the suggestion. And yet penniless and out of work with no one to turn to, she finally, reluctantly, agreed to her cousin's crazy scheme. She and Stein had never been demonstrative, Alexandra explained, and now that he was blind from the accident, he would never know the difference. But Stein discovered the fraud instantly when he kissed Sandra. Even worse, he insisted that she carry on with the charade!
