Cass fled to Italy, and to Ben.

He was the one person in the world who could help her. And help she desperately needed.

So it was a shock to find that she'd only added to her problems instead of solving them. She was a grown woman now. She had four years of marriage and a great many daunting experiences behind her. And yet the attraction between them flared up again.

It was an attractio that had to be denied at all costs - because there was just no way that Ben and Cassandra could be happy together.

49] Time Fuse by Penny Jordan


The situation was explosive

Selena arranged work with a prominent London QC not to break up his marriage--the way her mother had once tried--but to get to know her father secretly so that she could put her past behind her.

She hadn't anticipated Piers Gresham's interference. "I don't know what game you're playing, " he announced. "But my uncle's married. You won't find him a pushover. He was nearly caught that way once before."

Love, Selena knew, made one vulnerable. But to abandon all caution for a man who'd reject her because of her past was foolhardy!


50] Blackmail by Penny Jordan


His only desire was to use her

That horrible damning letter! If Lee didn't become Gilles de Chauvigny's temporary wife he'd show it to her real fiance.

That Gilles could disrupt her life so carelessly, so callously just to be rid of a too possessive mistress--outraged Lee, but she was powerless to stop him.

Then, later, she didn't want to, for she had fallen hopelessly in love with him. Hopelessly because his spurned lover vowed to have him back. Hopelessly because Gilles felt nothing for her.

53] Captives of the Past by Robyn Donald



Jennet was sure of one thing ...

There'd be no welcome for her at Te Puriri Station--especially not from her stepbrother, Rafe Hollingworth. To Rafe she would always be an amoral, scheming troublemaker!

Still, she had to try. She just couldn't let her half sister, Melly, marry Derek Compton.

Jennet's own marriage to Derek Compton had ended four years earlier--for reasons she'd never disclosed to her family. But now, to save Melly, she'd have to risk her own chance for future happiness. And risk Rafe's continued hatred and contempt. If only she didn't love him....

Andrew's bequest shocked them both

Kerry had assumed that her stepfather would leave his large department store to his son, Ross Sinclair. But Andrew must have had something else in mind--he stipulated that both Kerry and Ross were to inherit the store.

She liked old-fashioned friendliness and service. He was all for modern impersonal efficiency. Between them, Sinclair's was becoming a battleground.

The solution seemed obvious. Marriage would consolidate their interests. But Kerry swore she would never marry a man like Ross Sinclair--even if he was resorting to blackmail!
