Kip Delaney, a handsome matinee idol, finds himself in tragic circumstances. His wife is now an invalid and to make matters worse, causes Kip to exist in a living hell. Gail is also unhappily married and quickly falls deeply in love with Kip. They face a desperate situation - he wants to be a dutiful husband, but finds himself a tormented lover, whilst she faces the decision of her lifetime.
In the 1920's she moved to Fleet Street where she worked as a secretary to Lord Riddell who was then Managing Director and owner of the News of the World. In 1925, she married Henry Wallace Muskett and brought up four children, three of whom were from Henry's previous marriage. Two years later she wrote her first novel, 'The Jade Spider'. What followed was a career of writing that spanned over 37 years.
During the Second World War she again served with the V.A.D where she taught handicrafts in British and American hospitals.
Netta co-founded the Romantic Novelists' Association, where she served as Vice-President. In her honour the RNA created the Netta Muskett award for outstanding new writers, now called the RNA New Writers Scheme.
In her private life she was a home-lover who generally shied away from appearing at public functions, avoiding where she could any semblance of sel-publicity. She enjoyed pottery, weaving and sewing, and also loved to travel especially in the tropics and Africa.
She died at her home in Putney in 1963 and her last novel, 'Cloudbreak', was published posthumously.
