Synopsis
Elena Torlato-Favrini, a headstrong Italian countess and heiress to a business empire, considers herself superior to any man.  Why then does she fall so easily for the handsome stranger she accidentally ran over in her car?   The man, Roger Lennox, is all too willing to allow Elena to dote on him as though he were a sick puppy.  But, during a boat trip, he discovers Elena’s true character when, after he declared that he cannot swim, she pushes him overboard.  Elena calmly watches as her latest plaything sinks beneath the surface and drowns.   The adventure over, the countess resumes her former hectic existence as if nothing has happened.  How startled she is when Roger suddenly re-enters her life!  No, it isn’t Roger.  It is his identical brother, Richard, and he has vengeance on his mind...
