They were linked together by a chain of love Cathy Whiteheart was a battered woman on the run when she met Sinclair MacDonald. She had been trying to forget the past, to swear off men, and to avoid the kind of hurt that remains after the physical scars are gone. On a pleasure trip to the Caribbean, Sinclair turned Cathy's pain into an ache, a longing for the kind of real love she had always dreamed of. Sin MacDonald could never reveal the true reason for his interest in Cathy - he could only hope that his feelings for her would not get in the way of the secret he could never share!
