Sylvia Penhurst is forced to bear the burden of her unhappy marriage,

her ardent temperament subdued by her husband's cold unfeeling

behaviour. Then suddenly to her yearning, caged heart comes love, love

of the kind her husband cannot or will not give.

The temptation to surrender to her passionate nature is too much but her

happiness is short lived. For Sylvia has a small daughter and she

realizes too late that in reaching out for a moment's happiness she has

destroyed a child's world.

A captivating love story from the 100-million-copy bestselling Queen of

Romance, first published in 1953, and available now for the first time

in eBook.
