Summary: Blackmailed into Submission
Review: Three years ago Kate fled Sydney with her eleven-year-old sister Rebecca. She was running from an arranged marriage and a wealthy husband she believed was running around with other women. She hated being the subject of gossip. Now she lives off the beaten track in a far north Queensland town. Rebecca is fifteen, a handful and she's just been expelled from school. To make matters worse, she's run away to Sydney.Then out of the blue the man she ran from, Nicolas Carvalho, shows up at her door. He tells her Rebecca has been arrested in Sydney for trying to sneak out of the hotel she'd been staying in without paying. The hotel is pressing charges and not even Nicolas' money can change their mind. However, he tells Kate once she's in Sydney, that if she will move in with him and live as his wife, he will see that Rebecca gets into a good private school and he will somehow manage to get the charges dropped. If she doesn't, then young Rebecca will just have to face the music. Reluctantly Kate agrees and thus she becomes a reluctant captive, a bird in a gilded cage. So Rebecca is rewarded by doing horribly in school, talking back her teachers, running away and being just a genuine all around spoiled brat. Nicolas is rewarded for being a bully and a blackmailer and forcing Kate to do his bidding and of course, somehow, good, kind, gentle, hard working Kate must somehow forgive them both so that they can all live happily every after. Does she do it? What do you think?
