John Saxon saw Mary Elizabeth for the first time as she walked up the church aisle at Jeffrey's wedding. John acted as best man and Mary Elizabeth made a very beautiful maid of honor. In fact, she was so lovely as she walked up the aisle that John fell in love with her, and told her how much he loved her as she held his arm on the way down the church aisle when the wedding was over. But John had to leave the city on the midnight train. Into the letter he poured the feelings which were in his heart. At home, Mary Elizabeth was tormented with the attentions of Boothby Farwell, who forced himself on her. Here is a new and enthralling romance, a book of mellow richness by a well-known novelist.
