Publisher's Synopsis
Lizzie Smith became part of the Carter family when she was orphaned as a child. With four boys, Polly Carter sees her as the daughter she never had and it is only fitting that she should eventually marry one of her sons. But, much as she loves Stan, Lizzie knows that her husband has a dark side, and when he is involved in a work dispute with Philip Verne, she senses trouble ahead. When Stan confronts Philip late one night their actions end in disaster. Philip offers Lizzie financial compensation, but can she accept Philip's kindness?
