Seven years ago, Anastasia Banks ruined herself.
On the day of her mother’s death, Anastasia had an afternoon of passion with the man she thought she loved. It was a mistake.
Between rumpled sheets and a soldier’s sneering smile, she realized the man she loved didn’t really exist. After throwing away her virtue, she discovered that her mother had died of a fever in her absence. Since then, Anastasia has vowed to protect her younger sister at all costs and to never let such a disreputable man re-enter her life, nor let her sister follow in her footsteps.
