Rachel Boyes was twenty three when she met every woman’s ideal man.

Donald Knowles was thirty three, tall, dark and handsome with flashing blue eyes, and a bulging bank account. He was the only heir to family business, one of the most successful merchant banks in Britain. In the not too distant future, he knew he’d be a billionaire.

The only problem was Donald drank, gambled and was unfaithful to every woman he was ever with.

His father James laid down the law, told him to clean up his act, find a decent woman instead of the nearly-naked models Donald fancied, get married and have a family. Otherwise, he’d never inherit the bank.

He wouldn’t be a billionaire, he’d be dead broke.

When he accidentally got Rachel pregnant, it was the answer to his prayers and he promptly married her.

Rachel wasn’t a nearly naked model. She was a successful reporter, had a steady job, didn’t drink and didn’t have her hand out for everything that Donald could give her. His parents loved her.

Unfortunately, marriage didn’t mean Donald reformed and within two years he was playing about with those scantily dressed models again, drinking far too much, spending like a fool and gambling like an idiot.

Rachel found solace in her writing, her son and finally in the arms of another man. They knew when they met they were special to each other, but they were both married to other people and said they couldn’t do anything about it.

Well, that lasted about a week and then their affair began….

This is a rags to riches story, innocence to sophistication, the story of Rachel and her loves – Donald, Lucas and then Grant.

Sometimes privilege and wealth doesn’t mean happiness, because sometimes you give your heart to someone you can’t be with.

Sometimes fate hands you a second chance.

Yes, this book is a romance, but it’s more than that, it’s the story of a family, the life and loves of three generations.

My friend read it before it was published and she couldn’t put it down. I hope you will enjoy it as much as she did.
