Being Elizabeth

Ravenscar: a house, a legacy, a dynasty.

Elizabeth Turner, scion of fabled Deravenel family, carries the red-gold hair and beautiful English complexion of her ancestors. And it is not just her colouring that she has inherited from Edward Deravenel. Astute and charismatic, she is also fiercely ambitious, with the same ruthless streak.

Now, aged just twenty-five, she stands to inherit the family business. Over eight hundred years old, the company is a bastion of male chauvinism and the challenge that lies ahead of Elizabeth is immense. Her greatest ally is her childhood friend, handsome, charming Robert Dunley. The spark between them becomes impossible to resist, and whent hey begin an affair it scandalises those around them. But far worse is to come...

From the family seat perched high on the Yorkshire moors to the glamour of London, Elizabeth fights for her birthright and her inheritance.

Passion, drama, betrayal and death stalk the pages of this gripping new blockbuster from the author of 'A Woman of Substance.'
