The Heiresses

When three seventeen-year-old girls, Thalia, Erato and Clio, are summoned to the excitement of fast-paced 1920s London – a frivolous, heady city full of bright young fashionable things – by Hestia, an aunt they never knew they had, they are shocked to learn they are triplets and the rightful heiresses to their deceased mother's fortune.

All they need to do is find a way to claim the fortune from their greedy half-brother, Charles, an up-and-coming politician who would like nothing better than to see them disappear and his family name left intact.

As secrets, lies and tangled truths swarm around the girls, they soon find that their loyalties are divided.

As the sisters begin to doubt they will ever claim their mother's fortune from Charles, they realise they have overlooked a key person in their quest. After a series of terrible events, the true owner of the entire fortune is finally revealed and the girls destinies are changed forever.

A thrillingly addictive saga of love, betrayal, money and intrigue.
