About this ebook
A secret past, a cruel charade, and a dangerous attraction she cannot afford to indulge.
Samantha was twenty one before she learned that her mother was not, as she had always been told, dead, but very much alive and a famous and glamorous actress.
Uprooted from the quiet Italian fishing village of Perruzio after her sculptor father’s tragic death, so she was whisked off to London and a new and very different life, with a hard, selfish mother who was not going to admit in public that her daughter was day older than sixteen.
Instead of the loving reunion she had imagined, she found herself cast as a convenient prop in a glamorous deception. Worse still was the cynical, hazel-eyed playwright who seemed to see right through the charade.
How was this going to affect Samantha’s relationship with the disturbing Patrick Mallory?
