Title: The Romantic Heart
Description: Had success, and the struggle for success, spoiled Martin Kennedy? To most people, even those who had known him longest and best, he was a monster --arrogant, unfeeling, caring for nothing and no one but the huge department store he had built up from nothing? But to Vicki Laidlaw, he was an unhappy, lonely man -- the man she loved and whom she was convinced she could make happy? That was why she had accepted his proposal of marriage --a marriage, he had made it plain, that he had planned only as a gesture of defiance to Stephanie Joyce, the beautiful actress who had so publicly jilted him, and to which he was bringing no love? In the face of all these odds, how could Vicki possibly hope to succeed?
