Bettina Daniels lived a fairytale existence of??glamour, endless parties, and luxury among??America's top celebrities -- simply because she was the??beautiful daughter of famous American author Justin Daniels. Then, in one moment of tragedy, her??father was dead, and Bettina discovered the truth??-- he had spent every dime he'd ever earned and run up??millions in debt. At eighteen, penniless and??alone, she had lost everything except her father's??dearest friend, Ivo Stewart. A wealthy, handsome publisher??of sixty-two, he offered Bettina a??way out: marriage. But only for a time. What lay??ahead for Bettina was a life filled with shocks and??surprises -- and eventually a chance to become a??playwright, and a writer like her father. Having??learned her lessons dearly, Bettina blossoms into??her own person at last. From the Paperback edition.
