BREAKING THE RULES

The mysterious, poised “M” takes the haute couture world by storm and then amazes the world by marrying Laurence Vaughn, an actor from a dynasty of British actors. Katherine Kellgren narrates in steady tones that reflect M’s self-confidence and ambition. When there’s an attempt on M’s life and possibly Vaughn’s, they travel to London, where they both have family. At that point, Bradford surprises listeners with the news that M is the granddaughter of Emma Harte (the lead character in Bradford’s popular series). Their old enemy Jonathan Ainsworth, thought to be dead, rears his ugly head in a series of attempts against M, her family, and the Harte empire. Kellgren captures the emotional tension between the characters as they weather both affairs of the heart and the insidious hatred of Ainsworth.
