Publisher's Summary

There were plenty around Fellburn who said Maggie Rowan was as plain as a pikestaff, a woman consumed with jealousy at her sister's good fortune in marrying well.

But Maggie Rowan, with her dogged determination to succeed, had two raging ambitions beneath a cold and forbidding exterior: to become the mother of a child whom she could love and to escape from the life of the miner's cottage to one of the big houses on Brampton Hill.

When she marries the easy-going Chris Taggart, her marriage is planned shrewdly and without sentiment. Like her, he is considered the 'odd man out' and, for that reason, the only one likely to have her and who unleashes her hidden desire to be loved.
