About This Book
No warning as love ends!
Sally Carter had to put her dreams of love and marriage to Dr. Jeff Cobey behind her when her police work suddenly catapulted her into the public eye... and just as suddenly caused Jeff to break their engagement. Sally was bewildered, for Jeff had given no warning, no reason for his rejection of her.
Then handsome, wealthy... but somewhat neurotic playboy, Fred Sexton entered Sally's life, and she found herself being moved about like a figure on a chessboard to suit the conveniences and serve the personal ambitions of three people: Fred's aunt, Harriet Sexton, who saw in Sally a way to make a real estate killing; publicity-seeking Jane Radford, who wanted to capitalize on Sally's heroism to further her own career; and Fred, himself, who wanted to love, honor, and own Sally.
Would Sally let herself be manipulated by these three people and forced into a marriage she feared? Or would she put aside her pride and crawl back to the man who rejected her?
