About this ebook
A Victorian heiress weds for duty but falls prey to forbidden desire in this compelling family saga—first in the Barforth Trilogy.
At sixteen Verity Barforth becomes sole heiress to a fortune founded on the wool mills of Yorkshire. But women—whether heiress or mill hand in the Barforth weaving sheds—do not control their own destinies. Obedient to the conventions of the Victorian age, she accepts a marriage of convenience and cloaks her proud spirit in the silks and satins of a society hostess.
But for Verity, convention is not enough. When at last she falls in love it is not with her husband, and she becomes the center of a powerful drama of infidelity, jealousy and revenge, played out against the magnificent landscapes of the Yorkshire moors and the brutal poverty of the mills.
The first novel in the Barforth Trilogy, this gripping family saga is perfect for fans of Sandy Taylor, Katie Flynn, and Josephine Cox.

About the author
Brenda Jagger was born in Yorkshire like so many of the characters in the Barforth Trilogy. Married with three daughters, she worked in Paris, Dundee and then in the north of England as a probation officer. Her work with 'wayward girls' and her own family increased her interest in women's experiences, both within her own lifetime and historically. In 1986, her last novel A Song Twice Over won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award by the Romantic Novelists' Association.
