But constantly fate—and the Sutton brothers—knocked her down again. Dean Sutton was prepared to set her up in a shop of her own, but only at his price, while Brandon Sutton threatened to destroy her with a love neither of them could control. But Mary was a fighter, determined to win whatever the odds, however great the sacrifice.
