Enemy From The Past
For you there'll be no escape from me,' Slade Anderson had told Rosalind eight years ago, when he had been young and shy and awkward and she had flippantly spurned his advances and love. She hadn't cared about him then and she hadn't given him a thought since - but now he was back in her life with a vengeance! No longer shy or awkward, very much a man of the world - and with a score to settle. And unless her beloved brother's business was to be ruined she had got to fulfil Slade's condition for saving it, and marry him. And now the boot was on the other foot -for now it was Rosalind who loved, and Slade who was keeping at a distance . .
Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction, Romance. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book
This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.
Works well for a focused weekend or a few concentrated sittings.
Begin with its place in Fiction, then notice where the book resists that label.
Read for connection, not completion.
Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.
Three questions to carry with you
- What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?
- Which detail or relationship changes how you interpret the story?
- What feeling or question does the book leave with you after the plot moves on?
