Helen had never wanted to marry Nick Vakotis.
She could never understand why he, a fabulously wealthy Greek ship-owner, should want to marry her -- but he did. On their wedding day he told her, "Remember always that you're mine. Should another man ever enter your life, then you'll wish with all your heart that you'd never been born!" In the circumstances, it seemed reasonably certain that Nick meant what he said.

What would happen if he discovered that Helen's only reason for marrying him had been to forget Paul, husband of her best friend? And what would Helen do if Paul decided not to take no for an answer?
