A light, fast-paced story. An easy, enjoyable read.
Alexander Konstantinakos is called to task after the discovery that he had fathered twin boys and they are not claimed by him. He had never know of their existance, but he recognized the woman in the photo as a one night stand from a very stressful time in his life. He did not want the tramp around his sons, but when Ruby Wareham is confronted by him, she demands to stay with her sons, and the he must marry her.
Sander believes Ruby is like his own mother, selfish, money hungry, a low character with loose morals, but the more time he spends with her, the more she causes him confusion between what he knows and believes about her.
Ruby had met Sander at a bar, drunk, wearing tight clothes, and literally thru herself at him. The recent death of her parents and the loss of her home had her seeking safety in the arms of someone to love her. Only seventeen, she had believed Sander's was the man to keep her safe, only to have him throw her out of the hotel after a night of passion, leaving her pregnant with the boys.
