Much as she loved her beautiful actress mother Clea, Joanne could see why Ben Norris considered her 'no better than she ought to be' - but why did he have to carry his hostility over to Joanne, who wasn't at all that kind of girl?

Now, five years later, they had met again, and everything had changed. Everything, it seemed, except Ben's infatuation for Clea.
