Legacy of fire

As a child, Karen Conway had seen her mother fall in love with a man who could never be hers. Now Karen herself was in love with that same man's son, Riccardo Tornese. Rik's father had left Karen an interest in the family company, and Rik was furious when she insisted on the voting rights she was entitled to. Though they were passionate adversaries, Karen learned to love Rik, but she was convinced that he wanted her only for the stock that would be her bride price.
