Kate Hannigan

Kate Hannigan was different. Although fate had cast her into the grim promiscuous life of the slums, she determined to rise above her destitute surroundings. Perhaps it was the legacy of her father--a brilliant young artist--that made her carry herself with an inborn elegance and strive for an education. Her fresh young beauty attracted a wealthy gentleman who deserted her long before the birth of their baby. But it was through this child of a frustrated, forbidden union that Kate found Rodney Prince--a dedicated young doctor trapped in a loveless marriage--and fell hopelessly, passionately in love!

Hero: Rodney Prince
Heroine: Kate Hannigan
