GRACE HOPE-NELSON KNOWS THREE THINGS; firstly, she was unwanted, both parents leaving her behind, the divorcée of her father rising up where her parents failed, taking her in as her own.

Secondly, she was a burden, despite her Mum's insistent reassurances, despite her half-brothers Nick constant smiles, she was a burden to her family. She was the outlier, the lone wolf as her brother David loved to tease, she had no place in the Nelson household.

Thirdly, despite the withering looks shot her way by one Tao Xu, the shy, placid smiles sent her way by one Elle Argent, Grace Hope-Nelson was irreparably in love.

Just for once in her life, she wants to be enough, to not be a burden. Is that too much to ask for?
