Shelley Howard has been left a property in Portugal by her unknown father. She travels there to try to find something of her father. What she finds is a ready-made family, stepbrother, sister & mother who all resent her. Why Shelley doesn't know. At least not until she speaks to the advocate. Jamie, her stepbrother, though he certainly doesn't in any way acts brotherly towards her is most resentful towards her. Jamie thinks she is a gold digger who only wants the property her father left her. Well she never came looking for her father when he was alive she only turns up after she's left something in his will. That is what Jamie & his family believe.After speaking with the advocate & tells him to give the house back to the family, she leaves but travels to see where her father lived. While there Jamie finds her & persuades her to come back home with him so he & his family can make amends for their treatment of her after they find out the truth, that she was told by her grandmother that her father was dead.Penny has writen a brilliant story. I have a couple of hers on my keeper shelf in hardback if I can find them which I reread every year or so. Time fuse is another of hers I have in H/B which is a keeper also.
