Quote:Action and suspense swirl around the Wahlderbilt family in this second chance romance saga, set before World War II. Desperate to survive during the Great Depression, Roxanne, and her sister, Sophia, face misfortune and tragedy at every turn. After Roxanne's relationship with the love-of-her-life ends in heartbreak, she marries Charles Wahlderbilt on the rebound. Now, stuck in a loveless marriage, she finds out being a member of the family more difficult than she expected. Her husband is a cruel man who enjoys torturing her. The only bright spot in her life is her stepdaughters and her son, Emmett.

Darren Blakemore, the newly arrived World War II pilot, was hired to tutor Emmett, but it's their attractive daughter, Veronica, who catches his eye. They grow closer by the day, and soon are only happy when in each other's arms. The Wahlderbilt estate is as far from the western front as you can get, and yet it is more treacherous for Darren. Charles wants his daughter to marry into nobility and has already picked out Veronica's husband.

Veronica's family tree is as twisted as they come, but she dreams of a life free of the controlling restraints and coldhearted apathy of her father. Lies, scandal, and secrets keep the family members in line, but Veronica isn't like her relatives. Together, the lovers face the wrath of her sociopathic father, who wants to protect his legacy at all costs. Will they be able to escape or will Darren's love for Veronica be what kills him?
