Why wouldn't he leave her alone?

After a brief disastrous marriage, Karen Ingalls had managed to keep all men at bay for five years. But then she had never encouraged one like Matt Lucas. He'd made up his mind, it seemed, whether Karen liked it or not.

Karen still bore the scars from one encounter with love--why invite further heartache?

Hero: Matt Lucas
Heroine: Karen Ingalls
