Images of Love

HP 1486 ISBN 0 263 09729 3It was sheer coincidence that Mark Newman should turn out to be the half-brother of Robert Lang, who had almost destroyed Tobie's life - and when Mark invited her to go on holiday with him to the Caribbean to meet his family, she could not resist the chance to see Robert again - and if at all possible, pay him back for what he had done to her. But Tobie didn't know all that had happened to Robert since they had last met. She couldn't foresee that, although he had lost his memory and didn't even recognise her, he still had the power to hurt her, just as he had hurt her before...The last time Tobie and Robert saw each other, they fought about getting married - she wants to , he doesn't. She was also pregnant but never told him about it and after she finds out that he had an accident after their argument she miscarried. Unbeknownst to them, Robert's mother, who had abandoned him and his father to marry the man with whom she would eventually have Mark, plays a major role in wrecking their relationship. The mother only has plans for Mark and only comes back to Robert because she thought he would die soon after the accident and possibly leave his money - he is a very successful painter - to them. Mark is a doctor and has designs on Roberts money, too. Man, these people are vicious. Especially the mother. How can somebody be so mean? Wicked? Evil? You name it. She's despicable. Mark is no softy either. He may be even more nasty because he actually takes everything for granted...Besides that, Tobie and Robert are tragic and pitiful in their predicaments. Anne Mather is a great writer no matter what.
