The Vivian Inheritance
Stubbs, Jean
June, 1815.

Hal Vivian, an ambitious and talented young engineer from Cornwall, has come to work with William Howarth, the wealthy self-made Iron-master of Wyndendale.

Ambitious and single-minded in his pursuit of industrial change, Hal has brought his dream of a road of wrought-iron rails with him.

But what expects him in Wyndendale is more than just riches and fame  --  for William Howarth's daughter, Anna, has set her sights on the Cornishman.

And she isn't the only one …

Can Hal change the valley and the fortunes of all who live there  --  and can he, too, find happiness at last?
