Everyone was quite sure that wealthy Laurian Vale would accept Philip Dallas; they were a perfect match, such a good-looking couple - and, as Mr Vale remarked, it would do his daughter no harm to have a baronet for a father-in-law. But Laurian herself wasn't so sure: Philip was pleasant enough, but when she was with him she felt no excitement, none of the romantic thrills she had expected from the man who was to be her husband . . . And then she met Roy, a worker in her father's factory, who, in a single meeting, swept her off her feet - it was like her secret dream come true. Dizzy with happiness, she planned to defy her family and marry the man of her own choice - but her father, convinced that Roy was only interested in her money, begged her to wait six months. Laurian agreed, but six months seemed like a lifetime.
