Million Dollar Mistress — Mary Kerr

When Simon accuses her of betrayal and sends her away, Maize digs deep for the perseverance that has kept her going after the loss of her parents. Her years as an unpaid drudge for her Uncle Jim have tempered her almost beyond being hurt. Thanks to Simon, she recovers her birthright and claims her inheritance from the unscrupulous Jim. She builds a life for herself and her son. When Simon's own inheritance is threatened she wades into the battle fighting for her son's birthright, a father. Simon has to confront an impossible truth. Maize must decide whether her love for Simon outweighs the wrong he has done her and whether happily ever after is an option.
