Renowned for her singing across the English countryside, Emma is tired of performing only in pubs and at church services. She's determined to leave her misty hometown for the dazzling streets of New York City. She'll become a Broadway star, or die trying. Her father, stubborn and full of rage, disowns her on the spot. But with her heart set on a glittering future that she'll do anything to achieve, she walks out of the door and into a new life. But when she arrives, her fate is not what she imagined.."-- Renowned for her singing across the English countryside, Emma is determined to leave her misty hometown for the dazzling streets of New York City. She'll become a Broadway star, or die trying. Her father disowns her on the spot; Emma walks out of the door and into a new life. But when she arrives, her fate is not what she imagined. Just when it seems like Emma might have to admit defeat, she is introduced to a peculiar couple: a wife that cannot bear children of her own, and a husband who would pay Emma to solve that problem. When Emma moves into the couple's remote estate to participate in an elaborate ruse, there's no telling what kind of life she'll have once she's taken the money. -- adapted from jacket and publisher info |
