PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK

GEMMA SMITH-WHITMORE: after her father’s death, Gemma discovers a magnificent black opal worth a small fortune and an old photograph that casts doubt on her real identity. In quest of the truth and a new life, she goes to Sydney, and fate introduces her to Nathan Whitmore, her husband-to-be…

NATHAN WHITMORE: adopted son of Byron Whitmore, Nathan is acting head of Whitmore Opals and a talented screenwriter. After a troubled childhood and a divorce, he is ruthless and utterly emotionally controlled. Will he ever drop that mask and give Gemma the love that she needs…?

JADE WHITMORE: the spoiled, willful only daughter of Byron and late Irene Whitmore (nee Campbell). Her wild-child ways give the wrong impression to everyone except, perhaps, Kyle Armstrong?

KYLE ARMSTRONG: the new marketing manager at Whitmore Opals. He is unforthcoming about his background—does he plan to use the Whitmore family for his own ends?

BYRON WHITMORE: recently widowed, he is the head of the Whitmore family, and a stranger to love.

LENORE LANGTRY: talented stage actress, ex-wife and Nathan Whitmore and mother of Kirsty, Lenore has finally found love with top lawyer, Zachary Marsden.

MELANIE LLOYD: housekeeper to the Whitmores, Melanie has been on emotional autopilot since the tragic deaths of her husband and only child.

AVA WHITMORE: Byron’s much-younger sister, she struggles with her weight, her unmarried state and her fear of failure.
