Pride of Place — Nicola Thorne

SHE MADE HER FORTUNE THEN FOUND HER PLACE IN A WORLD OF LOVE...

The Aylestone estate has been in the Prynne family since William the Conqueror's time. This noble house overlooking the Thames is where generations have lived, loved, and died. This is their ancestral home, the only place in the world where they belong. And now they could lose it all.

By the 1950s, the family finances have dwindled and Aylestone has fallen into disrepair. Only a small miracle can save them. When it is suggested that the sprawling mansion be turned into a hotel, the family is understandably shocked. Soon, however all realize it is the small miracle they needed. Judith Prynne sees it as the opportunity of a lifetime.

With the fire of ambition in her eyes and a deep yearning in her heart, Judith soars from entrepreneur to renowned businesswoman, from London to all of Europe, in a passionate quest for money, power and the love of a man who could take it all away.
