The burden of caring for her younger brothers and sisters was robbing Mary of any life of her own and the future looked bleak indeed until, after a period in hospital following an accident that had robbed her of her memory, she was claimed as his wife by the handsome but forbidding Damos Christou who took her off to his luxurious home in Greece. Naturally unaware that she was being used for his own ends, Mary was overwhelmed by guilt on confessing to Damos that, owing to her loss of memory, he was a stranger to her and, therefore, she did not love him. But she would try hard to fall in love with him again, she promised -and soon discovered that this was far easier than she had expected! It was only when she was willing to be his wife in every sense that she realised there was something seriously amiss.
