The audio cassette of the novel from the greatest living saga writer and Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller
Lizzie Miller worries about her beautiful eldest daughter Ruby. Money is short and Ruby yearns to give her beloved family a better life. So determined is she to enjoy the security only wealth can bring, that she stifles her feelings for handsome Johnny Ackroyd. Ruby works as a maid in the household of Mr Banks and his daughter, Cicely, a shy creature with few friends. At a party for the 'gentry' Ruby meets Luke Arnold, the dissolute heir to his father's fortunes. Once he sets eyes on Ruby's dark beauty, he determines to despoil her innocence. When he slyly turns his charm on Cicely, Ruby feels compelled to warn of his evil nature, a warning that costs her her job. Despite this bitter blow, Ruby quickly finds employment in a milliner's shop, and eventually takes over the business. But her worldly success still leaves an emptiness that riches cannot fill, and Ruby learns at last that love is beyond price.
