Arian

Arian — spirited and unconventional — had always shocked the residents of World’s End with her wild behaviour. As she begins to make a name for herself in the leather and shoe-making trade, she is overjoyed when the intriguing and charismatic Calvin Temple decides to back her. Yet this backing proves disastrous when her venture with a French company fails and it looks as though all their money will be lost. When Arian sets out for France in desperation to try to salvage their investment, she falls foul of the law and is given a grim alternative to prison — a loveless marriage with a man she despises.
