Scorpions' Dance

Four years ago, Miranda entered a marriage with Jaime Knevett to help her mother, though she scarcely knew him and had little liking for the man she did know. The arrangement was never a real marriage, and the pair separated within hours of their wedding day. Now Miranda plans to wed Paul Courtenay and has travelled to Brazil to ask Jaime for an annulment. Jaime remains a formidable presence, and even if he agrees to end the union, Miranda must ask herself whether she is certain that freedom is what she truly wants.
