Mary must decide if her love for Burke is stonger than her loyalty to the man who has single-handedly rescued her family from financial ruin.Elizabeth Eden, the closest to a mother John has ever known and his staunchest supported, lives with Mary in her fashionable London home.

When she falls in love with Burke Stanhope, a man John despises, battle lines are clearly drawn. Young and headstrong, Mary is stifled and eventually almost killed by John's zealous protection. Lady Mary Eden, John's cousin, is the recipient of his greatest beneficence and the object of his deepest rage. Sweeping from England's Devon coast to London, Cambridge, and finally America, this new volume in the Eden family saga is surely the best yet.John Murrey Eden is the dominating force in the lives of the five Eden women.
