Rating: 4 out of 5

The plot for this story was pretty common for Harlequin romances.A poor shopgirl (Alanna) meets the handsome and wealthy Leon and becomes his mistress. After they've been together for 6 months, he tells her that he will never marry her. She leaves and marries his brother.Five years later, they meet by chance and she knows Leon still hates her as he blames her for his brother's death. She has been wracked by guilt as she blames herself for her his death as well. Three months later, Leon tracks her down and discovers that she has a 4 year old son. He forces her to marry him so that the child will have a father figure and grow up in the wealth of an Andreokos.In the end, the truth about what Alanna did with her inheritance and her husband's death comes out.As I said, the story is nothing new, but the pages are packed full of emotion. The problem is that there is so much emotion and so many secrets and lies to uncover that the word limit just could not do it justice. This story really needed to have been told in a full-length novel for full impact.All in all, well worth the $0.99. THis was my first book by this author and now I will look for more of her work.
