But her parents have already chosen the man she is going to marry. Meanwhile, Sebastians rivals Sloane and Mellor are still plotting to bring him down, so they can take over Farthings.

Harry Clifton remains determined to get Anatoly Babakov released from a gulag in Siberia, following the international success of his acclaimed book, Uncle Joe.
