Orphaned at a young age, Rachel is left penniless and alone in the streets of turn-of-the-century Newcastle. In the depths of despair, she is delighted to learn that her eccentric Uncle Joshua has left her his house in Sunderland. But it comes with a strict provison—she must marry her sworn enemy Martin, or her dangerous cousin Saul Gorman will inherit the lot. And Saul will stop at nothing to claim inheritance.
great book, Too many characters, once you will think to whom he belongs. But still great. After reading this book you will realize that to how many people you have met in your whole life? and how easily we forget them? And sometimes, something totally opposite happens? which is beyond imagination. Your deeply trustworthy betray you. The same things happen here. Rachel thinks his childhood friend an enemy but at last, she marries to him due to some reasons or we can say due to his uncle's wish. The most interesting thing about this book is that it had been divided into two groups and the prologue of one book is given on the very first page but of ending is not given. So it can be a bit confusing but I assure you that you will love the book.
