Extended description

Lady Barbara Simmonds-Hunter seemed to have everything, a successful marriage to a man she adored, a boisterous stepson and two fine children of her own. At work, she chairs a profitable insurance company that gives her time to indulge in a little commercial intrigue, and she has close, loving friends. At home she lives a life of ease in Durmoor Manor, her husband’s Somerset estate, or she lives in one of two penthouses. For travel she has a choice of several Rolls Royces and a private helicopter. Lady Barbara is rich, beautiful and hard.
Until Moris Dickey drifts back into her life she had only one worry, a delinquent stepson with a murderous penchant for trying to eliminate her two children, and an evil disposition for causing mindless trouble.
Moris Dickey, a financial ne’er-do-well, with a persuasive tongue and the dreams of ten empire building Cecil Rhodes’, changes all that.

At work, she chairs a profitable insurance company that gives her time to indulge in a little commercial intrigue, and she has close, loving friends. At home she lives a life of ease in Durmoor Manor, her husband’s Somerset estate, or she lives in one of two penthouses. For travel she has a choice of several Rolls Royces and a private helicopter. Lady Barbara is rich, beautiful and hard.
Until Moris Dickey drifts back into her life she had only one worry, a delinquent stepson with a murderous penchant for trying to eliminate her two children, and an evil disposition for causing mindless trouble.
Moris Dickey, a financial ne’er-do-well, with a persuasive tongue and the dreams of ten empire building Cecil Rhodes’, changes all that. He turns her world upside down in an attempt to satisfy his own thirst for revenge and to gain personal success in an area where he was banned from operating for ten years. But is he after her, or is he working from his own agenda? Barbara lives through one crisis after another. Her husband and stepson die in a skiing accident and she almost loses the chairmanship of her expanded insurance company. Her misery continues when she discovers her dear friend Linda has given birth to a female child bearing all the unlovely characteristics of her dead unlamented stepson
