No Child of Mine by Gwen Madoc
Swansea, 1920. When the death of her father catapults Bethan Pryce into the heart of a feud between her mother, Esme, and Esme's sister, Mae, her world is turned upside down in an instant. It is a feud that has been raging since Mae married Dan Henshaw, the love of Esme's life and a man who is revealed to be not only overwhelmingly ambitious but also Beth's real father, a fact he refuses to acknowledge. As if that weren't tough enough to bear, fate deals Beth a cruel hand when she loses Esme to an early death in childbirth. Cast out by Mae and Dan and responsible for her new baby brother, Tommy, Beth must summon her reserves of strength to carve a future for them both. But Beth's future is destructively and inextricably linked to her father's and Dan Henshaw is a powerful enemy by any measure, a bitter man who won't rest until his daughter faces ruin ...
