The Australian Heiress
“She lay for a moment staring at the ornate plaster rose in the ceiling before her mind began to relive the events of the night before.

She recognized the name Vandenberg. It was famous. Julian Vandenberg was a concert pianist, Sir Charles Van...denberg an industrialist. She knew they were somehow related, but she didn’t know if they had any connection to Nick Lombard. The Lombards, merchant bankers, historically had their power base in Melbourne.

Well, Claude could tell her surely; he had a prodigious memory. He knew everyone who was anyone in the entire country.MoreLess
