All that matters

Would she be a wife or a handicap? Wealth and social standing meant little to Glynis. Her aim in life was domestic: a husband and a quiet home, somewhere away from it all. But Steven Grant-Tally didn't fit into this image. He was handsome, clever, rich, highly successful, and he moved in glittering social circles entirely alien to her. He had everything and he needed a glamour girl for his career. With his egotism and his ambition to climb the ladder of fame, Steven was the reverse of all Glynis's simple ideals. That was what worried Glynis about her fiance. She loved him despite the differences in their backgrounds, but she didn't move in his expensive, luxurious world, and she didn't approve of the hectic glamour of his social life. Could shy and retiring Glynis, with her hand-made clothing and simple ideals, be a match for the other woman in his life...? All she wanted to be was his wife. They were in love, but could love bind them together? Could their marriage survive on love alone when there was such an insuperable barrier between them?

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction, Romance. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.
