description: Annabel's beautiful dream had ended....
  
  Cornwall and the sea, the cottage, her innocent romance with young artist Toby Trevine....
  
  Now Dr. Robert Fames, her late father's partner from whom she'd fled, had discovered her hideaway. Annabel feared his determination to run her life, his persistence in wanting to marry her.
  
  She looked in vain for help from Toby. It was his brother, Bart, wino rescued her--a man Annabel found so vitally attractive she'd never even dared to include him in her dream!
