At sixteen she wouldn't have had the nerve. At eighteen she would have known better. But at seventeen Rowan Judge was prepared to tackle the toughest job in town single-handed: saving the family woollen mill from closure. Bradford's hard-headed business community had seen nothing like it since the rise of James Barton, the textile baron who had broken up Rowan's family and blighted their lives. Determined to prove herself more than his equal, in the space of a few years Rowan achieves the impossible - she drags the mill from the brink of disaster to Stock Exchange success. But at what cost to herself and those she loves?
Saul, Rowan's husband, bears the brunt of her driving ambition. Charming, mercurial, a supremely successful salesman, he finds himself in constant clashes with her over the development of the business. And when she meets Richard, son of her arch enemy, Rowan sees in him her perfect match in talent and temperament.
Which will she choose? Or does Rowan's mill mean more to her than either?
A finely meshed and enthralling saga, Roman's Mill is the powerful novel of a remarkable woman whose desire for revenge unleashes an invincible ambition.
