The Second Mrs Rivers

A pleasant home; a warm, loving relationship with her father; a busy social life. The world seemed a good and happy place to Carol Rivers. Even her affection for Simon Rawley, her father's business partner, was deepening into a mature and lasting love. And then, like a bolt form the blue, the happy world splintered into pieces and Carol found herself alone, friendless, and with a bitter battle on her hands. Her father married again; his bride, Brenda Howard, had been his secretary for years - a woman who professed friendship for Carol but was secretly obsessed by jealousy of all the links with her husband's former marriage. And Carol was the strongest link - the one she was most determined to break. Carol had to set about making a new life - one that excluded Simon. For the man to whom she had given her trust and love now seemed to be the second Mrs Rivers's closest friend and ally.
