Four years ago, Leonie had gone through the worst experience of her life, when as a result of her innocent love affair with Jeremy Lindsay she had been confronted by the hateful John G Noble, who had done his best to wreck her. Since then Leonie had managed to rebuild her life, been married and widowed, and put the past behind her. But now, when she had least expected it, John Noble had reappeared, with no intention it seemed, of burying the past.
