About the book
After years of hard training Anna was ready to launch herself into a career in the world of music. Everything seemed to be going well until family troubles forced her to turn down the chance of a lifetime to join an opera company, organised by the forceful Jonathan Keyne. When Anna met Jonathan Keyne again, she began to fall in love with him, which brought down the wrath of the rich and glamorous Teresa Delawney, who had earmarked Jonathan for herself! However, with the famous conductor Oscar Warrender acting as fairy godfather, perhaps Anna would find her happy ending after all!
