Where Love Is

by William John Locke

Norma Hardacre, a captivating woman in London's high society, finds herself drawn to the charismatic but penniless artist Jimmie Padgate. However, she becomes engaged to Morland King, a wealthy man who sees her as a trophy wife to bolster his own ambitions. Morland, a close friend of Jimmie, harbors a hidden secret that threatens to unravel his carefully constructed façade. Meanwhile, Jimmie, consumed by his love for Norma, experiences burgeoning success as an artist, only to see his reputation shattered by an unforeseen event. This intricate narrative explores themes of love, social class, ambition, and the complex web of relationships that bind individuals together.
