MEMORANDUM
To:The Reader
From: Carole Mortimer
Subject: The Black Sheep and the Scarlet Woman
It is being drawn to your attention that Juliet's boss has left her half his company-and all his troubles. Carlyle Properties is near bankruptcy, and Juliet has to share her inheritance with Liam Carlyle, his estranged son, who has already assumed that Juliet seduced his father! What Liam doesn't know is that Juliet was once engaged to Simon, his despised younger brother.
One thing is for sure: Juliet has decided to work with Liam to save the company, but as for his notion that his father should have left him everything-including Juliet.... She wants a strictly business affair!
