Emma Harte was that kind of woman. From the moment you meet her, in a private jet en route to the skyscraping Manhattan headquarters of Harte Enterprises, you will be held inescapably in her spell. Born to an impoverished Yorkshire family, seduced and left pregnant at age 15, she was nevertheless blessed with an unshakable faith in herself and an implacable will to survive. Hers is the story of a woman who paid so high a price for live that she'd pay any price for revenge.
