title: The Heirs of Bellair
author: Fitzgerald, Ellen
description: THE PERFECT MARRIAGE VS. THE ULTIMATE FOLLY
  
  Despite a penchant for reading extravagant romances, Miss Pamela Caldwell was a most sensible young lady. She kner4 for instance, that her upcoming marriage to her dear childhood friend, good-looking, pleasant Tom Bellair, so earnestly desired by both their families, was quite the best thing that could happen to her.
  
  Obviously Mr. Sidney Questered had no place in this perfect plan. Not only did this dark and handsome stranger appear as if out of nowhere, but he refused to divulge anything of his past life and very little of his present condition.
  
  One thing, however, Questered made clear. He wanted Pamela and would use all the strength of his powerful magnetism, and all the weakness she inexplicably felt in his presence, to achieve his goal.
  
  This was real life not flighty fiction, Pamela desperately told herself as her head tried to deny the maddening feeling of delicious danger that was invading her foolish heart. . . .
