A Point of Pride

It was a business arrangement -- love was not part of the deal!

Casey O'Connor had simply adored Gil Blake. But that had been six long years ago, and it had been before Gil made it abundantly clear he considered her just another notch on his bedpost. Casey hadn't let their relationship get that far, but she had certainly let Gil destroy her dreams of the two of them living happily ever after.

Now Gil was back, and this time he was the one with marriage on his mind. And he wasn't taking no for an answer. Not that Casey could turn him down -- not unless she wanted her family's business to go bankrupt!

Hero: Gil Blake
Heroine: Casey O'Connor
