Elizabeth Turner, scion of the fabled Deravenel family, carries the red-gold hair & beautiful English complexion of her ancestors. & it is not just her colouring that she has inherited from Edward Deravenel. Astute & charismatic, she is also bold, daring & fiercely ambitious, with the same ruthless streak.

Now, aged just twenty-five, she stands in the position she has dreamed of
- inheriting the family business, Deravenels. Over eight hundred years old, the company is a bastion of male chauvinism & the challenge that lies ahead of Elizabeth is immense.

Cecil Williams acts as Elizabeths mentor while navigating the treacherous corridors of power with her. But her greatest ally is her childhood friend, handsome, charming Robert Dunley. Highly intelligent, he is her match in every way – & there is a spark between them that is impossible to resist. Yet Robert is already married. When they begin an affair it scandalises those around them. But far worse is to come…

From the family seat perched high on the Yorkshire moors to the glamour of London as the twentieth century draws to a close, Elizabeth fights for her birthright & her inheritance. Passion, drama, betrayal & death stalk the pages of this gripping new blockbuster from the author of A Woman of Substance.

Being Polite To Hitler

After teaching and raising her family for most of her life, Agnes Scofield realizes she is truly weary of her routine. But how, at 51, to establish a separate identity? Her newfound freedom may not sit so well with the rest of the Scofields, who operate strictly within the confines of polite Midwestern values. They'd be polite to Hitler if need be. But underneath the facade, private triumphs and tragedies - including struggles with alcoholism and illicit affairs - simmer, and Agnes finds herself becoming even more entangled in the family web. BEING POLITE TO HITLER is a richly wrought portrait of a woman coming into her own in the middle of her life and a family that experiences passions, joys, and grief against the backdrop of the post-WWII era.
