Love's Power and Fury

To most people, it probably looks as if Laura has everything. Born in 1953 to wealthy Robert Hayden and his beautiful wife Lily, materially this is true. She lives in a Regency mansion, set in an attractive, good-sized country estate just outside of London. But behind the scenes it’s a very different story.

Entirely raised by a starchy nanny, she has no friends and when thrust into a private school, she struggles to make any. But upon reaching adulthood, her reserved personality doesn’t mean she has no suiters. There is Mark, a stubborn and difficult fisherman whom she first meets during a Cornish holiday; aristocratic James, a defence barrister in the City, kind Sam, who works for one of Hayden’s companies, and Gino, the charming son of an Italian marquis, to name just a few of them. But Laura has much to learn in both relationships and the complicated world of business. It is only when a friend introduces her to Christianity that she finally finds complete peace within herself.
