Max and Sharon Davenport return from Antigua and Max Davenport vows to ruin Roberto’s career if he won’t leave his daughter alone.Cynthiana tries to trump her father’s hand, but her attempt angers Roberto. Tempers flare in this well written novella. Ruth Roberts has not only written a homerun but a grand slam. Nicely done.
