TIMES CHANGE, BUT THE DESTINIES OF TWO FAMILIES REMAIN CONNECTED FOREVER...

The year is 1945 and the House of Lords is voting on who will inherit the Barrington family fortune. And the casting vote of the Lord Chancellor shuffles both Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington.

Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel. Meanwhile, his beloved Emma searches for a little girl who appeared in her father's office the night Hugo Barrington was murdered. Giles still has to defend his seat in the House of Commons in the election and is horrified to find out who the Tories have chosen to run against him. A new generation of Cliftons arrives on the scene, and it is Sebastian, Harry and Emma's son, who will significantly influence his uncle's fate.

In 1957, Sebastian received a scholarship to the University of Cambridge. But he is expelled from school and becomes involved in an international art fraud involving a very valuable Rodin statue. Will Sebastian become a millionaire? Will he finish his studies at Cambridge? And is his life in danger?
