Tell Me My Fortune — Mary Burchell

With one exception, all the members of the impoverished Greeve family built their futures round the name of Great-Aunt Tabitha and the fortune she was expected to leave them.

The exception was Leslie Greeve, for whom the future meant only Oliver Bendick -- a man she had loved for longer than she could remember and who she would one day marry.

But when Great-Aunt Tabitha died, a stranger burst into their lives: Reid Carthay, self-confident, cynical, thirty-eight -- a disturbing stranger within whose power it lay to affect all their futures.

Hero: Reid Carthay
Heroine: Leslie Greeve
