When Jill marries Amandios Doxaros, she does it only to make his mother happy in her final years--and to keep him from marrying the woman he truly wanted. Both agree that theirs would be a marriage in name only, to be dissolved at his mother's death.
Jill never meant to fall desperately in love with Amandios; but her heart had other plans. Soon she must decide whether to try to win his affections for herself--or watch him marry someone else.
