Book Description

Dumped by a famous mother she hardly knew on an aunt, who brought her up as her own in the Welsh hills, Sally St. Vincent has lived a dull and sheltered life… But when her beloved aunt dies, she finds herself homeless and bereft on a train bound for London and the Berkeley Square home of her self-obsessed film star mother Lynn, the screen Goddess once described as ‘desire personified’. Sally’s demure loveliness doesn’t go unnoticed and soon she’s wooed by dashing man about town Tony Thorne, who sweeps her off her feet by proposing marriage! Her heart full of love and hope, she can’t believe her luck: a fabulous new home, haute couture clothes, glamour beyond her wildest imaginings and a handsome fiancé! Instantly, though, her dreams are dashed as Tony jilts her for some well-paid job! Tony’s brother, Sir Guy Thorne, takes pity on the miserable waif and whisks her off to his Yorkshire estate to nurse her broken heart. And there, in that enchanted moment when her new Knight in shining armour rescues her from certain death in an airless tomb, she finally knows she’s found the love that’s been missing all her life.
