She didn't want love
Not with him--again!

Tessa worried about meeting Paul Mellor again. She had made a fool of herself over Paul once and didn't want to repeat the experience.

"That you won't," Orme Jared said, "not while you're working for me. We'll put a Keep Off sign on you--an engagement ring from a very possessive man. Me."

Tessa thought he was joking. Who would believe the great Orme Jared wanted Tessa to marry him!
