Summary: A bit of clarity
Review: The other review implies that Cal drugs Joanna and then horribly takes avantage of her drugged state. He DOES NOT. They sleep beside one another on the same bed and that is all.
He has been in love with her for years. Sadly, her mind has been poisoned due to events of the past and she will never give him a chance.
Unlike many lead men of other revenge love stories, he does not do his worst. He is actually the family's willing savior.

Summary: She Has to Give Herself to A Man She Hates
Review: When Cecilia Chalfont returns to England after eighteen months in the States, where she'd fled after her husband died, she finds that her brother Simon has mortgaged their craft company and their family home to their sworn enemy, Callum Blackstone.Many years ago Cecilia's grandfather Jonas Chalfont fired Cal's granddad, also named Cal. That first Cal swore vengeance on the Chalfont family and the present day Cal means to get it. To make matters worse for Cecilia, Simon's snob nosed wife is pregnant and wants all the creature comforts she believes she's entitled to and Simon has been embezzling from the company to give them to her, then he took up gambling to try and pay the monies back, digging himself into an even deeper hole. Also her father is old, ill, infirm and living in the family home. Cecilia has to try and hold Cal off. Cal says he will make everything right, all she has to do is give herself to him. Oh, and marriage is out of the question. Blackmailed into submission, she submits, but Cal slips her sleeping pills that first night, because he's such a great guy and doesn't think she's quite ready. Then later she confesses to him that she's a virgin. Yes, she'd been married, but unknown to her, her husband was gay and living in the closet. Little Cecilia just thought they had a little problem that would eventually go away. Cal knew this about her hubby though. So did apparently all the other guys in town. Somehow though that little fact escaped his wife. So do you think Cecilia finds happiness with the guy who blackmailed her into his bed, hummmm? A Harlequin Dreamers review by Maggie Stewart
