The Valdez Marriage

by Violet Winspear

"You will stay and marry my brother." Julio Valdez spoke contemptuously. "Because of you, my brother, Ramon, is now a paralyzed cripple, with very little to live for. But he wants you, so he shall have you." Julio's hard unyielding expression warned Darcy Beaudine it was useless to argue. He was determined to tie her to a man she didn't love, in a marriage that could never be consummated. She would be forced to spend the rest of her life at Julio's Spanish estate, devoting herself to Ramon, but loving Julio.
