Goblin Hill by Essie Summers
Faith Charteris had never met her father, and her father had never known he had a daughter. Indeed, until the deaths of her adoptive parents and her natural mother — beloved for all Faith's life as her dear godmother, the famous actress Philippa Meredith — she had no more known of her father’s existence than he had known of hers. But Philippa, in the short time they had together after the passing of her adopted parents, had told her the story of the folly of her youth. How she had abandoned her young husband for her acting career; how she had discovered her pregnancy after leaving him; how she had thought it unfair to saddle him with a daughter; how her best friends had adopted the child; how she had come over the years to see how wrongly she had behaved; and how in the end there had even been a degree of reconciliation between Philippa and Faith's father Julian Morland, as both she and Julian had found great peace and happiness in re-marriage. But Philippa had died, all the same, without telling Julian that he had a daughter.

But now Faith knew her father’s name. Knew his name, and knew, too, the name of the windswept sheep station on the Pacific coast of New Zealand’s South Island, a place that had been in his family for Puketaipo, ‘Goblin Hill’. Would it be right to tell him? She didn’t know the answer — but she did have a plan. She would go down to that district, find a job, and get to know her father and stepmother without telling them of the connection. And then, perhaps . . . well, she would play it by ear.

But she had not accounted for Gareth Morgan, her father’s stepson and heir, who rejoiced in Philippa Meredith’s death, who hated Philippa Meredith for the pain she had caused his stepfather and the insecurity he was sure his mother had felt every time she saw that incomparable face on the screen — and who would hate Faith with the same passion if he knew that she was hiding the fact that she was Philippa’s daughter!
