Faced with a broken heart and financial ruin, lovely Jacinda finds herself alone in the world except for her reckless but lovable father. As their beloved home, Coombe Castle, is bought by a self-made millionaire Morgan Wright, Jacinda finds herself angry and fuelled with resentment. But when a hunting accident nearly kills her father and causes her distant mother to return, Jacinda feels she has nothing to lose. She runs away to London, determined to teach her parents a lesson and to gain independence. But with no skills, no work experience, no money, and no understanding of city life, she is forced to face the shady streets of London ill equipped and alone.
Destitute and desperate, Jacinda finds salvation in the arms of her family’s sworn enemy — but is this revenge, or the path she should take? How Jacinda finds deliverance, how she discovers the true meaning of love and how her shattered family are reconnected are all told in this wonderful tale of reckoning, redemption and love.
