Subtle Revenge

by Carole Mortimer

Out of her bitterness, there came a plan... Twelve years ago Lori's father had been destroyed by the ruthless lawyer Jacob R. Randell in a notorious embezzlement trial. Ruined, overcome with shame, her father had killed himself, protesting his innocence to the end. The trial had haunted them for years: Lori's mother finally wasted away with grief, and Lori, seeking to rebuild her life, was coldly jilted by her fiance when he discovered her true identity. She had reason to hate the Randell family. And when she met Jacob's son, Luke, she saw a way to hurt him as his father had hurt her.
