From Back Cover: Troubled by her parents' stormy relationship, Carrie Slater vowed she'd avoid the marriage trap. Then handsome Stone Harland came pounding on her door in a fury, waving a copy of that flippant farewell note she'd written to Lance Stevens. Incredulus, Carrie heard Stone's demand:pretend she and Stone were engaged, planning to marry--to save his sister, engaged to Lance, from being hurt. Reluctantly, Carrie agreed to take part in a dangerous charade. This was the very first harlequin novel I read and I was hooked! I love the characters, especially Stone. I still have the book; it's a keeper.
