Sir Vivian Dalrymple of St Bede's College tries to help her, but winds up dead. And Nesta was one of the last people to see Sir Vivian alive. What has she got herself into? Detective Jarvis is concerned to find himself falling for a suspect in his latest murder case, and is determined to keep Nesta at arm’s length. But can he fight his feelings long enough to find Sir Vivian’s killer? Don’t miss this gripping and enjoyable romantic suspense novel perfect for fans of Danielle Steel, Josephine Cox, Nora Roberts, Marian Keyes, Jojo Moyes or Jackie Collins.
