Heir

The acclaimed Barbara Taylor Bradford returns with another stunning tail of wealth, greed, and lust. Thirty-three-year-old Edward Deravenel has survived a harrowing life of betrayals, ruthless enemies, countless lovers, and a brutal war. The year is 1918, and Edward must do whatever he can to protect his company from the dangers of both the influenza pandemic and his money-grubbing family. An heir is needed to keep the Deravenel name alive, but tragedy and death remain obstacles at ever turn. The choices now include a loyal caretaker, a jealous rumormonger, a charming young woman, a sickly boy, and the very person who ousted him from power years before. "The Heir" is Bradford at her finest.
