Description: Heather Strand comes back home believing that she will inherit the control of the family motel. She agrees to a "business arrangement" marriage to Jake Cavender, friend and business associate of her father's. On the eve of her wedding, she discovers that the hotel was sold to Cavender months ago, and that she was not told because Jake and her father knew she would not return home without the belief that she would be in control of the hotel. They lied (by ommission) about something they knew was important to Heather. It was unforgivable, not just because of the huge lie, but because they were manipulating her. I quit the book when Jake followed his runaway bride-to-be to another motel, and appeared to have every intention of brow beating her with guilt and possibly raping her if he couldn't coerce her into having sex with him.
