Scottish shipowner Conal MacRae is the most exciting man that cossetted heiress Jenna Townley has ever met, and she is determined to marry him despite the disapproval of her overbearing father. Their courtship is fiery and their marriage passionate. But there are tragic and sinister undercurrents in their lives too: secrets from the past that threaten their happiness and even their safety.

3.0 out of 5 stars not too bad, June 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A World of Difference (Audio Cassette)

Despite the fact that the author tries to balance out Jenna's good and bad characteristics, she's not somebody you grow to love, as with Scarlett O'Hara. And the love at first sight premise is stretched a bit.
