The Encounter

Stunning young Mara Belcourt could have virtually any man -- except the one she desperately wanted. She had been in her teens when she fell under the spell of brilliant, cynical Richard Tudor, and even when he told her he would never love her, she could not stop adoring him.

He left her then, but Mara remained slave to his memory. Men like charming stockbroker Kane Sheraton, and handsome Air Force Captain Andy Mann wooed her in vain. Mara could only hope that someday she would be able to forget Richard and be able to love another. Then, suddenly, Richard returned, and once more Mara felt helpless in his power, even though she sensed he was using her for something evil. At the crossroads of her young life, Mara felt torn between duty and desire, between her head and her heart, as she struggled in the tightening coils of his passion from the past that threatened her future with heartbreak and betrayal.

Hero: Kane Sheraton
