About the book
Anstey was left holding the baby Her friend Joanna had run away before. That's how she reacted whenever life overwhelmed her, and Lester Quartermaine denying her child's paternity had been a devastating blow. Anstey knew she'd need help caring for her friend's child, and in desperation she turned to Lester's older brother, Cale. Contrary to his reputation for ruthlessness, Cale offered immediate support. Distressing support. He allowed his shocked mother to believe the baby was theirs--his and Anstey's--and he proposed marriage. Why, his solution to her problems was positively diabolical!
