The Interloper
At eighteen, Rosaria Heston reluctantly marries Rolf Markham and at twenty, moves to another part of the house in a legal separation. Seventeen years pass and 
the disjointed household finds a way of functioning. Rosaria is now nearly thirty-seven and entrenched in her resentment of her marriage. She is fiercely loyal to her first love, Simon Lewis, who was forced to leave Hettering when her father desperately needed money and in the face of all modern thinking, 'sold her' to Rolf Markham, the interloper of the title.
Rolf appears a good match, but Rosaria cannot bear the thought of being recorded in the contract for the loan and causing Simon so much distress. It appears husband and wife will never forgive each other until one of them dies, but fate intervenes and history repeats itself when Ria, the daughter of the unhappy union, also falls in love with an unsuitable young man. The situation is the catalyst for a series of significant events. We follow the developing relationship between Rosaria and Rolf, the passionate love story betwenn Ria and Ross Westwood and the interplay of all the young people.
