Petulant Rainbow

When beautiful Geraldine Ryans' engagement to an air force pilot is called off, her feelings of self-worth are completely shattered. The situation is made all the more painful when her mother dies shortly afterwards leaving her completely on her own. And it doesn't help when the family lawyer rubs salt into her wounds by informing Geraldine that she might lose the family home she has inherited due to a lack of finances. If Geraldine doesn't play ball with the lawyer and put the property into a Trust, she could end up homeless and in debt.

Such is Geraldine's anxiety that the local young doctor puts her on some sedatives to help her cope with her problems, and to get over her bereavement. Geraldine has become a bag of nerves but is determined to fight for the one thing she had always loved her beloved Larkford, her home of over twenty years. This is the beautiful house she has grown up in and it is full of happy memories. To lose it would have definitely driven her over the edge.

But when a close friend invites her to a party, the future becomes more hopeful. There she meets the handsome Stefan Lafonte, a wealthy businessman in his forties who wants to whisk her away. But because of her failed former engagement, Geraldine feels strongly distrustful of this man whom she sees talking to other women at the party. Women are clearly attracted to him, which in Geraldine's eyes is not a good sign. She decides to abandon the party and forget about the handsome Mr Lafonte, who is determined to get to know her.

He persists and it is then that Geraldine has an epiphany and wonders whether this man's ardour could be utilised to her advantage. If she marries him, it will solve all her legal and financial problems. In one blow, she could retain her beloved home and get the lawyer off her back. The only thing is, she would then also need to get rid of Mr Lafonte as well, especially as she does not see him as long-term marriage prospect. But how difficult would this be?
