The Honey Is Bitter

Domini had married Paul Stephanos to save her family from disgrace and exposure. Now she fought against the warm feelings she had for her husband because of the bitter knowledge that he had tricked and deceived her. When Barry Sothern, her old love, reappeared in her life serious complications were inevitable!

"Can't we just be friends," she asked.

His mouth twisted savagely. "You're asking a lot, aren't you, Domini?" he said. "You're not the kind of girl a man wants just for a friend -- hasn't living with Stephanos taught you what men want of you?"

The rain had lost its furl; the sky had cleared; the thunder had died away.

"What do you want, Domini, a boy-girl relationship? Well it just isn't possible. You must either go away with me on my terms, -- or stay with Stephanos on his!"
