He’s forcing her father to sell their beloved Yorkshire farm, and wants to turn it into a dry-ski resort, of all things.

The same Marion Ventura, that is, whose father’s company is attempting to take over Germaine Leisure, making her the unwitting target of Morgan’s deadly plot against his brother Kynaston . . .
