All Pamela Spencer wants is to help her brother, Tom, get his life back on track. After a job-related accident, he's confined to a wheelchair, unable to do anything except endure excruciating pain. When Pam discovers an ad in the newspaper advertising for "a worthy heir" to inherit Fiona Bainbridge's millions, she jumps at the chance that will allow Tom to be back under a doctor's care. After all, it was Fiona's company that caused Tom's problems in the first place. Reese Bainbridge, Fiona's grandson, has refused to have anything to do with Bainbridge Corporation. But he quickly returns home when he discovers that his fanatical grandmother has run an ad in the newspaper for someone to replace him as her heir. His frustration with his grandmother grows when he discovers she has moved the beautiful, voluptuous, green-eyed blonde and her freeloading brother into the house that he's supposed to inherit. Sparks will fly—and Pam is up to the challenge.

Book Description
In his monumental study, Christopher Braider explores the dialectical contest between history and truth that defines the period of cultural transition called the 'baroque'. For example, Annibale Carracci's portrayal of the Stoic legend of Hercules at the Crossroads departs from earlier, more static representations that depict an emblematic demigod who has already rejected the fallen path of worldly Pleasure for the upward road of heroic Virtue. Braider argues that, in breaking with tradition in order to portray a tragic soliloquist whose dominant trait is agonized indecision, Carracci joins other baroque artists, poets and philosophers in rehearsing the historical dilemma of choice itself. Carracci's picture thus becomes a framing device that illuminates phenomena as diverse as the construction of gender in baroque painting and science, the Pauline ontology of art in Caravaggio and Rembrandt, the metaphysics of baroque soliloquy and the dismantling of Cartesian dualism in Cyrano de Bergerac and Pascal.
