A MOST DETERMINED WOMAN

For Sarah Hawke, daughter of an impoverished miner, life has offered little beyond the grime of 1890s Glasgow and the eternal drudgery of back-breaking work. But then a mysterious stranger enters her life. A stranger who turns out to be her real father - and the owner of a vast and prosperous shipping empire . . .

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE

A woman like Norma McKenzie, with her irrepressible Glaswegian spirit, could never remain downtrodden. So when her family are forced to move into a tenement, it is not long before she meets handsome, blue-eyed Midge Henderson. Instantly captivated by each other, they embark upon a glamorous ballroom-dancing career. But then, out of the blue, Norma's life is shattered by bitter betrayal . . .
