Description
Ambrose Constantine's ruthless ambition drives him to secure his daughter Annabel's marriage into the nobility. He uses his wealth to buy her way into society, but when she meets Gilbert, a young man employed at his offices, their secret meetings stop abruptly. Annabel is heartbroken and finds solace with her grandparents on their Lincolnshire farm, only for her father to insist she returns to London. Annabel's life becomes complicated as she is courted by James Lyndon, the Earl of Fairfield, whose country estate is near her grandfather's farm. She believes herself truly loved at last, but upon arriving at Fairfield Hall, she discovers the true reason behind James's proposal and her father's role in it. As Annabel navigates the complexities of her new life, she experiences both heartache and joy, including the birth of her son. A feud over the inheritance eventually ignites, threatening to destroy the future of the Fairfield Estate. The conflict reaches its resolution in the trenches of the First World War, where the true cost of ambition and love is revealed.
