Description
"Hold on to your pipe, Dad. Today I met the man I'm going to marry." That was Susan Blair's greeting to her father, whom she hadn't seen in months. But while Susan plotted how to get Dr. Neil Wesley to take her more seriously -- and at the same time persuade his younger brother Bob to take her less seriously -- someone else was making plans of their own for the determined, pretty brunette. Hester Rhys, matriarchal ruler of the Rhys family and of Rhys Industries, saw in Susan the perfect wife for her handsome but irresponsible grandson, Gideon, who one day would control all the family interests. And Hester was a woman very much accustomed to getting her own way... any way she could.
