But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love-the one thing he can't give. It should be simple to find the perfect wife-and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he's determined to have her. Anything-or anyone-is his for the asking. Railway magnate Tom Severin is wealthy and powerful enough to satisfy any desire as soon as it arises. Summary: ONE OF OPRAH MAG'S BEST ROMANCES OF 2020! Everything has a price.
