Synopsis

Orphaned at a young age, Rachel is left penniless and alone in the streets of turn-of-the-century Newcastle. In the depths of despair, she is delighted to learn that her eccentric Uncle Joshua has left her his house in Sunderland. But it comes with a strict provison—she must marry her sworn enemy Martin, or her dangerous cousin Saul Gorman will inherit the lot. And Saul will stop at nothing to claim inheritance.
