When Abby Murphy discovers she’s heiress to one of St Helens’ largest glass works, her whole life is turned upside down. Torn from her poverty-stricken family and forbidden to see her childhood sweetheart, Roddy Baxter, she is forced by her tyrannical grandfather to become a lady.
Then Roddy disappears and soon, it seems inevitable that Abby will have to marry her grandfather’s chosen successor, Noah Goodwin, and bear his children. Trapped in a marriage where she is little more than a possession, Abby is determined that no matter what else might change, nothing will stand in the way of her steadfast passion for Roddy.
But is she prepared to give up everything she has now for a love from the past?

Her thousands of fans recognise the artistry of a true storyteller

Poignant and well plotted, this is the book to curl up with to shut out troubles.
This saga is, like all of Audrey Howard's books, compelling and memorable...a joy to read
