The Sin Of Cynara

The Sin Of Cynara is a romance novel by the British writer Violet Winspear, issued by Mills & Boon in this printing of 189 pages, dated 1976.

Carol has been on her own for five years, carrying the responsibility for Teri without help from anybody, and she has learned to manage. When Rudolph Falcone proposes to her she is taken aback, because an offer to share the burden is exactly the thing she has stopped expecting. The difficulty is that she cannot tell what he wants: he is a barone, a man with an authority that nobody questions, and she asks him directly whether the marriage is a form of revenge. He is hard, proud and evidently lonely, and she is attracted to him in a way that makes it difficult for her to think clearly about the answer he gives.

Teri is the reason Carol has held out for so long, and the marriage would change that arrangement.
