Payback — Maggie Tideswell

Desperately in love with one man, yet she plans to marry another.Nicole is the woman everyone loves to hate.Why?Nicole - Joshua replaced her when he married a stranger. Over her dead body would he get away with her inheritance as well. He was going to have to marry her before the month was out, as Daddy stipulated in his last Will & Testament - his marriage to Holly wasn't real anyway.Joshua - Nicole's ship had sailed - there was no way he's putting Holly, his brand new wife of barely a week, aside to marry her. Her father knew what he was doing.Ned - He never tried to hide his feeling for Nicole, but this was ridiculous. He was a patient man - he'd hang around to see how her plans pan out, and pick up the pieces when she spectacularly fails. She is carrying his child, after all.No one seems to understand Nicole's priorities. She has to reclaim what should have been hers before she can be with Ned. He expects her to be independently rich. If only the ghost of her mother would give her peace to concentrate on planning the wedding of the year for her and Joshua. She only had a month.Daddy never said anything about staying married to Joshua.
