Book Review By Angel Manners
Cassandra by Gloria Dale Skinner

    Cassandra Rakefield and Dustin Bennett were engaged to married. The night before they wed they make love and the next day Dustin did not show up at their wedding. Devastated, Cass went back to Texas with her Grandpa and took over his ranch when he died.
    Five years later, a horrible draught threw Cass's ranch in debt, desperate, she called upon Dustin's father, who is the keeper of her inheritance, to forward her funds out of her trust. Instead of sending money, he sent Dustin to see if Cass was really in need of such a large sum to get back on her feet. Dustin left Cass years earlier due to his guilt over their courtship. He initially started to court Cass so his father's firm would continue to hold control over her large trust. Dustin slowly comes to realize that Cass was the only woman he ever really loved, and decides to fight for her love again.
   Cass dosen't trust Dustin not to break her heart again. She pleads with him to approve her funds and never come back, afraid to open her heart to him again. As Dustin inserts himself back into Cass's life, she begins to fall in love with him all over again, and Dustin wants nothing more than to settle into life on the Ranch with Cassandra.
   As the two travel to Kansas City to gain control of her inheritance, they are confronted by enemies who want to control Cass and her money. As Dustin and Cass begin to find out what the plot against them is, they fight together to gain not only her inheritance, but also a lifetime of love.
