Whitby, 1879. Following the death of her parents in the Tay Bridge
disaster, twenty-three-year-old Lena Carnforth expects to inherit
at least half of her father's thriving shipping and merchant
business. But, though leaving her comfortably off, her father
leaves the entire business to his stepson, James. Instead of
working, it's generally accepted that Lena will wed lifelong
friend, Alistair, even though she has doubts about their
relationship. Then Lena meets the attractive shipping rival Peter
Hustwick and sees him as the answer to all her prayers. She also
now has the opportunity to help build up Peter's business - and
undermine James's firm, which she regards as rightly hers. But when
disaster strikes, Lena is devastated to realise just how carried
away she's become with her desire for success...
