She marries Ivor, only to be forced by his cruelty into living a lie. Through the hurt that follows - taking her to a long-lost sister in London and a fabulous treasure that will cause her deep pain - she finds in Blake a truer friend than she had ever known. Despite the monstrous husband who has shattered her dreams, will Fate give her a second chance? Could Blake ever be hers?
