      When her fiancé jilted her, Serena gave up all hope of ever getting married. She was determined to be sensible about the whole thing; that was, until Gijs suggested that she marry him. She liked Gijs and he was fond of her. Companionship seemed a good a basis for a marriage – who needed romance? But Gijs was in love and Serena couldn't work out who the lucky woman was… Letitia Marsden never trusted men. Then she met Dr Jason Mourik van Nie and he changed her mind. Learning to trust again wasn't easy for either of them. Letitia vowed there would be a happy ending. But then Jason got the wrong idea about one of her male friends… Could a chance meeting set it right? Surely fate wasn't going to let a simple misapprehension stand in the way of true love? Matilda had beauty and generous nature – it was surprising that she was still single. Despite many offers, she remained fancy–free. Until she met James Scott–Thurlow – it was love at first sight! He was the only man she'd ever wanted to marry! But as luck would have it, James was already engaged – to the glamorous Rhoda. And it was clear he hadn't fallen for Matilda...
