When Ferris returned home to claim the winery her father had left her, she knew she would have to face Martin Varenay again and, after three years, his rejection still burned in her heart. Instead of Martin, though, it was his cousin Cleve who sought Ferris out. And it was Cleve who proposed a marriage of convenience so she wouldn't have to sell her beloved winery. But by then, Ferris wanted more than a business partner. If she accepted Cleve's proposal, she would be marrying for love - total, all-consuming love. - back cover (1985)
