Always unsure of herself, overshadowed from childhood by her sophisticated sister Eileen, Heather had to struggle to rebuild her life after Don broke their engagement. She found some comfort in her love of the countryside and her job in a small market garden. Unfortunately though, her employers were close friends of Alex Carr, Don's boss. Heather detested him at first - his manner towards her was insufferably cold and superior. But gradually, her feelings for Alex changed - and then the dazzling Eileen began to take an interest in him too.
